About the Show

William Inge’s winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize is set in midcentury small-town America, at a time when an idyllic veneer sometimes masked undertones of sexual repression and desperation. The play examines the lives and loves of a sleepy town whose residents suddenly confront the arrival of an attractive, amorous drifter during a holiday picnic. When Hal falls under the spell of beauty queen Madge, sparks begin to fly throughout the town. Kevin Theis directs.
