"Bus Stop" Makes a Stop at Charleston Community Theatre

 

CHARLESTON — Charleston Community Theatre will present William Inge’s romantic comedy, “Bus Stop,” beginning Jan. 26 at Tarble Arts Center, 2010 Ninth St., on the Eastern Illinois University campus.

The play originally opened on Broadway in 1955, and was later made into a movie starring Marilyn Monroe.

“Bus Stop” is co-sponsored by the Tarble Arts Center and will run for six performances.
The performance dates are Jan. 26, 30, 31, Feb. 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m., and Jan. 27 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are now on sale for $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for students. Reservations may be made by calling Tarble at 581-ARTS (2787).

The story in “Bus Stop” unfolds during a ferocious snowstorm in rural Kansas. As travel becomes dangerous, a bus driver pulls into a small rural roadside diner. It’s about 1 a.m., and five weary travelers unload to take refuge overnight until the storm subsides.
