Featuring Jamie Cheatham, Ethan Hall, Doug Jarecki, Dan
Katula, Brenna Kempf, Patrick Lawlor, Jacque Troy & Annie
Walaszek
In the middle of a howling blizzard, four passengers become
stranded overnight in a small-town diner 40 miles west of Kansas
City. At the center of the storm is Bo, a rambunctious young rodeo
rider, who comes crashing in like a headstrong bull with Cherie,
the nightclub chanteuse he's kidnapped and is planning to wed.
Full of Inge's trademark insight into ordinary people in
sexually charged circumstances, this uproarious comedy from 1955
still stands the test of time.
BUS STOP will be a collaborative effort with
UW-Parkside, featuring some student and faculty
actors. Students, alumni and faculty members will also serve on the
creative team.
