WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Using a cast of 26 ranging from ages 8 to 80 and 10 composers/lyricists, Requiem for William is conceived from seven short plays written by William Inge. Exploring themes of loneliness, pursuit of fame, and the longing to return to something one can never revisit, each play is followed by an original song that gives a unique insight. Jack Cummings III directs for Transport Group.
Monday, February 3 is an Actors Fund Benefit.
Tickets for the opening night gala on Saturday, February 8 are $50.

William Inge, the object of many scornful chuckles since his death in 1973, is getting a tender tribute in Requiem for William. Transport Group co-founder Jack Cummings III is probably the one with the soft spot in his heart for the playwright: He's credited as having conceived and directed the seven short plays that comprise most of the intermissionless, two-hour-plus homage to Independence, Kansas's favorite troubled son.
