The UL Department of Performing Arts presents Picnic by William Inge from March 16th through the 20th.  The show will take place in the theatre at Burke-Hawthorne Hall on the UL campus.  Shows times are 7:30 pm, with the exception of a 2 pm matinee on Sunday.


The play 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 awakening young daughters, Madge and Millie, and a boarder who is a spinster school teacher, Rosemary Sidney. The other house belongs to Helen Potts, who lives with her elderly and invalid mother. Into this atmosphere comes a young man named Hal Carter, whose animal vitality upsets the entire group. Hal is a most-interesting character, a child of parents who ignored him, self-conscious of his failings and his hard luck. Flo is sensitively wary of the temptations Hal poses for her daughters. But Madge, bored with being merely a beauty, sacrifices her chances for a wealthy marriage for the excitement that Hal promises."
