PICNIC

By William Inge

September 30 - October 16, 2016

Picnic logo This beautiful drama written by one of the world’s most admired playwrights takes place on Labor Day weekend in the joint backyards of two middle-aged widows. One house belongs to Flo Owens, who lives there with her two maturing daughters, Madge and Millie, and a boarder who is a spinster school teacher. The other house belongs to Helen Potts, who lives with her elderly and invalid mother. Into this female atmosphere comes a young man named Hal Carter, whose animal vitality seriously upsets the entire group. Hal is a most interesting character, a child of parents who ignored him, self-conscious of his failings and his position behind the eight ball. Flo is sensitively wary of temptations for her two daughters. Madge, bored with being only a beauty, sacrifices her chances for a wealthy marriage for the excitement Hal promises. Her sister, Millie, finds her balance for the first time through the stranger’s brief attention. And a spinster school teacher is stirred to make an issue out of the dangling courtship that has brightened her life in a dreary, minor way.

Ushering

We welcome volunteer ushers at PCT. We're looking for responsible, helpful people to check tickets, distribute programs and help people to their correct seats. Knowledge of the theatre is helpful, but training can be accomplished at the theatre.

Make sure to come 45 to 60 minutes before curtain time, and you're welcome to see the show from our usher-reserved seating area near the doors after the audience is seated.
