PICNIC By William Inge | Directed by Ralph Zito | Feb 20 - Mar 1 | Opening Night: Feb 21 An elegant drama from an American master. “I've always had the feeling, if I just had the chance, I could set the whole world on fire.” As a small Kansas town prepares for the annual Labor Day picnic, handsome young drifter Hal stirs up long dormant feelings amongst a group of repressed women, including Madge, a beauty queen who yearns for another life whenever she hears the train whistle blow. Disappointments, resentments, and rivalries simmer with the late summer swelter in William Inge’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic about the power of attraction and the perils of unfulfilled desire.
