American Classic: Proscenium Players, Brewery Arts Center present William Inge’s Bus Stop
Bus Stop, the Pulitzer Prize winning play by William Inge is scheduled for one more weekend at the Brewery Arts Center’s MHJ Black Box Theater in Carson City beginning this Friday night.
The show will run March 31 and April 1 at 7 p.m. and April 2 at 2 p.m. It is general admission and the doors open one half hour before show time. Tickets are $13 for BAC and PPI members, $15 for seniors and students and $18 for general admission and available at breweryarts.org, the BAC Artisan Shop or by calling 775-883-1976.
Directed by Joseph Bly and starring Cece Dietlein as Cherie and Joseph McClure as Bo and an outstanding cast of supporting actors, Bus Stop takes place in the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a small roadside diner.
All roads are blocked, and the weary travelers on board have to take refuge in the diner until morning. Cherie, a nightclub singer, has the most to worry about. She's being pursued by "a young cowboy with all the romantic finesse of a rodeo bull."
The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana.
As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver who have previously only spent time in passing, find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.
