Picnic

Our Town Meets Tennessee Williams

A sleepy Midwestern town hums with simmering tensions, when the arrival of a provocative stranger sets it all ablaze. Among the people who dwell in Independence, two sisters are living lives that have been laid out for them like a shimmering party dress. But what if that dress doesn’t fit? Maybe they, and all of these small-town women, have dreams beyond what to wear to the 4th of July dance. It seems they’re all reaching for something just beyond their fingertips. For understanding. For escape. For something to heat their hearts – elusive treasures that can only come at a cost. A sexy, poignant and deeply human drama. Get yourself a front-row seat on the blanket.
