WILLIAM INGE'S 'BUS STOP' BRINGS SMALL-TOWN KANSAS TO 1xbet sports betting

MANHATTAN -- The Broadway production of William Inge's &1xbet sports betting ;Bus Stop&1xbet sports betting ; is rolling into Kansas State University's McCain Auditorium as part of the McCain Performance Series.

The play will presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18, by the Montana Repertory Theatre. The group returns to McCain after performing &1xbet sports betting ;Cat on a Hot Tin Roof&1xbet sports betting ; during the 2008-2009 season.

&1xbet sports betting ;Bus Stop&1xbet sports betting ; is about a busload of stranded passengers who wait out a snowstorm at a roadside diner in a rural Kansas town. The narrative follows several characters, including the nightclub chanteuse, Cherie, and Bo, the belligerent cowboy determined to take her home.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning native of Kansas, Inge wrote &1xbet sports betting ;Bus Stop&1xbet sports betting ; in 1955. The play, his only comedy, is one of his most popular.

&1xbet sports betting ;Inge is well-known for his characterizations of life in Midwestern small-town America,&1xbet sports betting ; said Todd Holmberg, director of McCain Auditorium. &1xbet sports betting ;Everyone who sees the play will certainly identify with some aspect of the production. This play also ties in well as we celebrate life in Kansas as part of the state's sesquicentennial.&1xbet sports betting ;

A McCain Conversation featuring David Smit, professor of English at K-State, will precede the evening's performance at 6:30 p.m. in 204 McCain Auditorium.

Smit will present a discussion of what &1xbet sports betting ;Bus Stop&1xbet sports betting ; reveals about Inge's character and issues of sexuality in the 1950s.
