These fabulous four days
are filled with with performances, readings, workshops, panel
discussions, picnics, dances, dinners, retrospectives and awards
ceremonies all set in picturesque Independence. Come and visit Inge's
boyhood home; take a tour of historic Independence; rub elbows with
the stars and be a part of honoring America's creative best.
William Inge,
author of Come Back Little Sheba, Picnic, Bus Stop,
The Dark at the
Top of the Stairs and Splendor in the Grass, was one of America's
finest playwrights. He was brought up in Independence, Kansas, and
many of his plays concern the people and town he grew up in. So now,
for four days in spring, Independence transforms itself into the
theatrical center of the universe, combining hometown America and the
thrill of Broadway. |
