Picnic

One of two works by William Inge in repertory at The Gym at Judson (the other is Come Back, Little Sheba), Picnic tells the story of the arrival of handsome newcomer to a quiet little town. At first his presence seems to bring hope and excitement, but those feelings are later replaced by dread and anguish after he and a local 18-year-old experience an instant attraction and change the landscape of this sleepy little town forever.
