The play Bus Stop by William Inge takes place over one night in a rural Kansas diner during a snowstorm. Eight characters seeking shelter grow to know each other better over the course of the night, including Cherie, a young woman being taken unwillingly to marry the cowboy Bo. Their interactions showcase themes of loneliness, love, and personal growth as each character deals with their own struggles. The director seeks to honor the play's themes and characters in their casting and production choices.
