10% Off All Tickets Through Labor Day!

Hurry up and take advantage of 10% off all ticket for our Labour Day Weekend Sale for the magical classic drama "Bus Stop" on stage September 9-24!

"Bus Stop" is the touching story of a footloose torch singer who knows too much about men, and a cowboy who doesn’t know enough about women. The combination is truly electric!

Bo Decker is a champion bronco-buster, ‘n steer-roper, ‘n bull-dogger. He had his picture taken for Life magazine. But he’s as green as spring grass when it comes to Cherie.

Cherie is a chanteuse. “I call m’self Cherie. Thass all the name ya need -- like Hildegarde.” She won an amateur contest that got her a job at the Blue Dragon. But working in a nightclub ain’t all roses.

The play is set in a diner about 25 miles west of Kansas City in early March 1955. A freak snowstorm has halted the bus, and the eight characters (five on the bus) have a weather-enforced layover in the diner from approximately 1 am to 5 am.

Bus Stop was adapted as a 1956 film of the same name, directed by Joshua Logan and starring Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray. Don't miss it!

Performing Sep 9-24 at the General Gomez Arts and Events Center at 808 Lincoln Way in Auburn. Tickets: $30 at the door. Advanced ticket prices are $25 for general seating with a 10% discount until September 4th.
