The Old Opera House – Picnic

A Pulitzer Prize winning drama by William Inge

September 8, 9, 15 & 16 at 8:00pm

September 10 & 17 at 2:30pm

The play takes place on a hot Labor Day weekend in the back yards of two middle-aged widows. Flo Owens lives with her two maturing daughters and a boarder who is a spinster school teacher. This female dominated world becomes sexually charged and forever altered when a young drifter, with a past and a history of seduction, takes a room in exchange for doing odd jobs for their neighbor. Picnic, with its frank depiction of sexuality and subtle discarding of the notion that love conquers all, provides an evening of charged drama you won’t want to miss.
