William Inge's Bus Stop is a classic American drama about the power of love. When cowboy Bo and his friend Virgil take the bus from Montana to Kansas City, to participate in the rodeo, Bo is also hoping to find his "angel." There, naive Bo falls in love with cafe singer Cherie performing "That Old Black Magic" and plans to take her back to Montana. The next day, Bo intends to marry her after the rodeo... but Cherie escapes. Cherie wants to go Hollywood, where she hopes to be discovered. But Bo tracks her down, and forces her on the bus back to Montana. On the way, they stop at Grace's Diner. Gradually, the headstrong Bo realizes that you can't rope a gal the same way you lasso a steer! Directed by Gail Cronauer (The Ruby Sunrise, Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage). October 8 - 18, 2009. John Anthony Theatre.
