The Millsaps Players open their 101st season with Picnic by William Inge.
It's Labor Day in a small Kansas town that looks and feels like Inge's own hometown of Independence, Kansas. It’s “warm even for September.” An attractive young man arrives with nothing but the clothes on his back and the boots on his feet looking for a place to settle down. His intrusion into the static lives of these plains folk disrupts their end of summer revelries.
Picnic premiered on Broadway in 1953 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama the same year.
