Dividing the Estate, a human comedy about a family that must confront its past as it prepares for its future, opened to critical acclaim in fall 2007 at Primary Stages. The Lincoln Center Theater production was nominated for two 2009 Tony Awards.

The late playwright Horton Foote returned to Lincoln Center Theater where his play The Carpetbagger's Children was presented at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater. His many plays include The Day Emily Married, The Roads to Home, The Young Man From Atlanta, The Trip to Bountiful, Lily Dale, The Widow Claire and Laura Dennis. His honors include the Pulitzer Prize for The Young Man From Atlanta and two Academy Awards for his screenplays for To Kill A Mockingbird and Tender Mercies.

Director Michael Wilson staged Horton Foote's The Carpetbagger's Children at Lincoln Center Theater as well as the playwright's The Day Emily Married at Primary Stages. He has been the Artistic Director of the Hartford Stage for the past 10 years.

Dividing the Estate's accolades include winning the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play, and Horton Foote's 2008 Obie Award for Playwriting.
