Picnic is set in the joint backyard of two widows. The story centers around a group of women in rural Kansas preparing for the Labor Day picnic. But when the attractive young Hal Carter drifts in from out of town, the comfortable status quo is disturbed in unexpected ways. Winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize, Picnic is a beautiful drama that explores the intricacies of relationships, the pressures of expectation, and the complexity of love.
Picnic is directed by Hannah Sochowski, with Joey Franks serving as assistant director.
