Denver Center Theatre Company has had some kind of prescience this season — the kind that makes its work more relevant, but painful for audiences.

First there was Glengarry Glen Ross, David Mamet’s play about desperate salesman conniving to hold onto their jobs. It opened days after Lehman Bros. self-destructed and the economy plunged.

That same month, the company opened its season with The Trip to Bountiful. Today the play’s author, Horton Foote, died at the age of 92. Foote’s drama, the celebrated return of Kathleen M. Brady to a leading role at DCTC, told of an elderly woman desperate to see her small-town home once more before she dies.

Foote himself never showed that kind of desperation. He was working until the last months, opening Dividing the Estate on Broadway this season. Tell us your Horton Foote memories — whether as an artist or in the audience.
