    A Play by Daniel Gordon
    Directed by Engela Edwards
    Texas première production

    Pruning the Family Tree, is a crazy comedy with a twist. In this quirky, clever, and humorous story, three generations of southern women gather after the unexpected death of the family patriarch. Pruning the Family Tree treads the boards between dark comedy and bright wit. It is sometimes poignant, sometimes silly, often surprising, and not to be missed. These amusing characters are expertly and honestly portrayed by four wonderfully-talented, quick-witted, and sharp-tongued actors.

    The cast:

    * Engela Edwards as Marilyn Casey
    * Lisa Holcomb as Barbara Casey
    * Rachel Edwards as Christy Ferguson
    * Alicia Gust as Ellen Casey Ferguson
    * Toto as Toto

    An award-winning play, award-winning actors, a really cute dog, and an intimate 150-seat historic playhouse, all combine to create a well-anticipated and delightful evening of theater.

    Pruning the Family Tree, was a finalist in the Eugene O' Neil Centers National Playwrights Conference and won the Heller Theatre's new play competition.
