In Performance: Hallie Foote of ‘The Old Friends’

Over the years the Signature Theater has produced many plays by Horton Foote, the Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning author who died in 2009. Its latest production is “The Old Friends,” a previously unseen family drama about two warring families in Harrison, Tex., in 1965. In this scene, Sybil, played by the playwright’s daughter Hallie Foote, has returned to Texas, where she remembers her deceased husband, Hugo, and their time spent in Venezuela. The show, directed by Michael Wilson and also starring Betty Buckley and Lois Smith, opens on Thursday and continues through Oct. 6 at the Signature Center.

Recent videos in this series include Jon Norman Schneider in the National Asian American Theater Company revival of Clifford Odets’s “Awake and Sing!,” which closed on Sunday at Walkerspace, and Sarah Lemp in a scene from the Amoralists’ production of “The Cheaters Club,” a new play by Derek Ahonen at the Abrons Arts Center.

Coming soon: Joe Manganiello as Stanley in the Yale Repertory Theater revival of “A Streetcar Named Desire.”
