Please have a prepared monologue - You may also be asked to read.

We are still looking to fill a few roles for the upcoming production of:

'BUS STOP'

written by William Inge

Production will run October 15th - October 23 - Rehearsals will begin early September

Performances will be at the Temple of Music and Art's Cabaret Theatre

COMPENSATION: The joy of performing - we are a community theater and are unable to pay at this time.

SYNOPSIS:

The play is set in a diner about 30 miles west of Kansas City in early March 1955. A freak snowstorm has halted the progress of the bus, and the eight characters (five on the bus) have a weather-enforced layover in the diner from approximately 1 to 5 a.m. Romantic or quasi-romantic relationships ensue between Grace and Carl, Professor Lyman and Elma and Cherie and Bo. Virgil and Will are the older authority figures outside the relationships.

 

CHARACTERS REMAINING TO BE CAST:

Dr. Gerald Lyman:

A college philosophy professor who is articulate and charming but cannot hold a position, partially due to his resistance to any kind

of authority, and partially due to his unfortunate taste for young women. He also has an obvious drinking problem.

 

Virgil Blessing:

An older, wiser cowboy who has become a father figure to Bo (who was orphaned at the age of ten) as well as Bo's head ranch

hand.
