NEW YORK—Life offers second chances, but not always those one expects, as shown in Horton Foote’s quiet 1954 play “The Traveling Lady.” Presented by La Femme Theatre Productions, this rather sweet slice of Americana is currently being performed at the Cherry Lane Theatre.
In 1950, Georgette Thomas (Jean Lichty) has arrived in Harrison, Texas, with her young daughter Margaret Rose (Korinne Tetlow). Georgette has traveled there to reunite with her husband, Henry (P.J. Sosko), who will soon be paroled after serving time for a crime committed in a drunken rage.
The main attraction of the show is the easy camaraderie between the townspeople of Harrison.
