                      Ludie's bossy, materialistic, and authoritarian
                      wife who clashes constantly with Carrie in
                      their cramped apartment.


Thelma:
                      A kind young woman whom Carrie befriends
                      at the Houston bus station while escaping.


The
                                Sheriff:
                      A friendly local law officer in Harrison, Texas,

                      when her family catches up.

          Written in 1953, the play centers on Carrie Watts and her
          desire to see her home once more before she dies.  She
          currently lives with her son, Laurie,  and daughter-in-law,
          Jessie Mae, in a small apartment in Houston. She has a
          contentious relationship with Jessie Mae, and Ludie tries to
          keep the peace. Her need to visit her past has been growing
          and her great escape is helped by some lovely characters along
          the way.
