Join us at the little roadside restaurant on a wintry night in Kansas as we serve up this timeless American classic from 1955. Come in from the snowstorm and meet the people that you already know and love: Cherie the nightclub singer who is trying to run away from Bo, the brash, lovestruck cowboy; Grace, the hilarious but lonely proprietor of the cafe who finds comfort in the arms of Carl, the bus driver; the middle-aged scholar, Dr. Lyman, who must come to terms with himself; and Elma, the teenager who just might be experiencing her first romance. Virgil, Bo’s friend and mentor, and Will, the sheriff, try to keep things in order as tensions fly and love blossoms. Love and friendship are on the menu as we visit a simpler time in the heartland, where life ambles along and love conquers all. “Inge brings to the theatre a warm-hearted compassion, creative vigor, and appreciation of average humanity that can be wonderfully touching and stimulating.”—New York Post
