The Texas Repertory Theatre Co. will begin its production of William Inge’s comedy Bus Stop on Friday, Jan. 28.

Bus Stop is the story of Cherie, a small-time nightclub chanteuse, and her cowboy-turned-kidnapper beau. Trapped in a howling snowstorm, a group of people has to hole up in a small Kansas restaurant until morning, which brings about conflicts and complications. The production features a cast of Houston theater notables, all under the direction of Associate Artistic Director Steven Fenley.

Bus Stop will preview on Thursday, Jan. 27, and run four performances a week through Feb. 20. The Thursday shows start at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday shows start at 8 p.m., and Sunday shows start at 3 p.m.

The price for admission to the preview performance is $25. The opening night gala is $45. Regular admission prices will be $35 and there will be student and senior discounts.

The Texas Repertory is in its sixth season and continues to produce year-round theatrical entertainment that revives the classic plays from American theater.

The Texas Repertory is located in Northwoods Plaza at 14243 Stuebner Airline Road in the Spring area.
