BUS STOP
By WILLIAM INGE • Directed by MARILEE ENSIGN
In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City must stop at a small roadside diner where the weary travelers on board must take refuge until morning. Cherie, a nightclub singer, is being pursued by “a young cowboy with all the romantic finesse of a rodeo bull.” A classic!

The hit Broadway musical about a Victorian-era barber who swears revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life.
