For many of us who grew to awareness in the 1950s, Bus stop is a classic american story. marilyn monroe’s entrance in the film version is imbedded in our consciousness. William inge’s biggest hit and his only out-and-out comedy, Bus stop truly exemplifies america’s postwar awaken-ing and introduces characters that have since become new cultural icons. inge’s american masterpiece still speaks to us in the new century. Rich with character and plot and the message that “we’re all in this together,” Bus stop shows that our lives are truly intertwined; we affect each other in subtle and profound ways as we go about our daily lives.

Few playwrights are able to make the everyday universal and the commonplace the stuff of great theatre. inge is one of these play-wrights. it is with great pleasure that montana Rep presents the work of this american master. We trust you will find in him, as we have, a font of insight, tenderness, soulful understanding, great heart and rollicking, life-affirming humor. Welcome to the world of William inge––you will not leave unchanged. thank you for supporting live theatre!

Greg Johnsonartistic Director

William inge was born in independence, Kan., on may 3, 1913, the youngest of five chil-dren. he became fascinated with the theatre at a young age, as independence, a wealthy white-collar town, was a frequent venue for touring shows and renowned entertainers. inge graduated in 1935 from the Uni-versity of Kansas with a bachelor’s degree in speech and drama. he briefly considered pursuing an acting career in new york City, but instead began graduate studies at the george peabody College for teachers in nashville, dropping out before finishing a master’s de-gree. of this period in his life, inge said, “i sort of based my life on the theatre. having given up the theatre, i had given up the basis that i’d set my life upon. i was terribly confused. i went home to Kansas and began to flounder.” after working as a laborer, inge found em-ployment as a news announcer and taught high school english and drama. in 1938 he returned to peabody College and finished his master’s degree, then joined the faculty at stephens College in Columbia, mo. inge moved to st. louis in 1943, where he was employed as a drama critic for the st. Louis times. he became acquainted with tennessee Williams and attended a Chicago performance of the Glass Menagerie with the playwright. this experience was life-changing for inge. “i was terrifically moved by the play,” he later wrote. “i thought it was the finest i had seen in many years. i went back to st. louis and felt, ‘Well, i’ve got to write a play.’” three months later, he had completed Farther off from Heaven, which was produced in Dallas. inge took a teaching position at Washing-

ton University in st. louis and began reworking one of his short stories for the theatre. the resulting play, Come Back, Little sheba, won inge the title of most promising playwright of the 1950 Broadway season. in 1953 inge’s play picnic, based in part on characters from his Kansas boyhood, opened in new york City. the play, which ex-plored the sadness and emptiness of a spinster schoolteacher’s life, won a pulitzer prize, the Drama Circle award, the outer Circle award and the theatre Club award. Film versions of Come Back, Little sheba and picnic were released in 1953 and 1954, respectively. in 1955 inge experienced further success with the Broadway opening of his new hit comedy, Bus stop, and the next year saw the release of a film version. the Dark at the top of the stairs, a reworking of his earlier play Farther off from Heaven, opened on Broadway in 1957. the play, which incorporates elements from inge’s past, is widely considered to be his finest. it, too, was later released as a film. splendor in the Grass, inge’s first screenplay, was filmed in new york in 1960. a resound-ing success, the film earned inge an academy award for best screenplay. inge’s subsequent plays were unsuccess-ful, and he left new york City. he taught briefly at the University of California, irvine, and wrote two novels, but suffered increasingly from depression. he committed suicide at his home in hollywood in 1973. inge is buried in his hometown, where his headstone reads simply, “playwright.”
