🎭🚌 A SNOWSTORM. A STRANDED BUS. A DINER FULL OF STRANGERS. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN?
This weekend, we’re looking for the people who will bring William Inge’s Bus Stop to life at Stage 9!
On a snowy March night in 1955, a bus traveling from Kansas City to Wichita is forced off the road by a howling Kansas blizzard. Its passengers take shelter in a small roadside diner, where they’re stuck until morning with nowhere to go—and plenty of time for big personalities to collide, unexpected connections to form, and a little romance to complicate everything. ❤️❄️
Think you might belong in that diner? Come find out!
⭐ OPEN CALL — NO RESERVATION OR APPOINTMENT NEEDED!
🎭 Friday, September 25 | 6:00–8:00 PM
🎭 Saturday, September 26 | 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
📍 Stage 9 | 9 S. Main, Hutchinson
