The first installment of Horton Foote's nine-play Orphans' Home Cycle opened at Off-Broadway's Signature Theatre Nov. 19.

The Orphans' Home Cycle "begins with a father's death in a small-Texas town at the turn of the century, a loss that sends his son, Horace Robedaux, on an odyssey through the darkest corners of the heart as he learns to become a husband, father, and patriarch," according to press notes.

Roots in a Parched Ground, Convicts and Lily Dale comprise Part One of Foote's sprawling, three-part family drama, directed by the playwright's frequent collaborator Michael Wilson. The extended New York engagement will run through March 28, 2010.
