Bus Stop opens 26th season Oct. 16 - Nov. 1, 2008
When Pulitzer Prize winner William Inge’s play, Bus Stop, opened on Broadway in 1955, it was an instant commercial and critical success. Based on an earlier one-act, Bus Stop involves a pair of young lovers and their struggle to find romance in the modern world. These lovers - a nightclub singer named Cherie and a brash cowboy named Bo – are now icons of the American theater.
Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, the play takes place inside a diner near Kansas City. A freak snowstorm has blocked all roads, stranding a busload of strangers together until morning. Their stories emerge to form a vivid tapestry of love, tragedy and hope. Such tales of small-town life rooted in the heartland, so typical of Inge’s work, earned him the moniker “Playwright of the Midwest.”
Directed by Chip Egan (Tomfoolery, Greetings!), the Centre Stage production of Bus Stop will run October 16 - November 1, 2008. Sponsored by Fluor.
NOTE: Talkback with Johnny Price for Tomfoolery will be on Friday, October 24 immediately following the performance.
