Picnic

by William Inge
October 15 - November 1, 2009

Cabot Theatre

Sponsored by Northwestern Mutual Foundation

MCT's Pulitzer Prize series continues with this 1953 award winner.

The setting is a steamy Labor Day weekend in small-town Kansas circa 1953. Into a restless, very female atmosphere comes the young Hal Carter, whose animal vitality seriously upsets the status quo. Frequently hilarious and profoundly moving, Inge's masterpiece chronicles the hopes and despairs that lie between the realization of adulthood and the eternal optimism of youth.

PICNIC will be a collaborative venture with UW-Milwaukee, using a number of student and faculty actors and faculty designers.

Directed by C. Michael Wright
