On the first day of rehearsal for William Inge's Picnic, Preston explains a couple important features of the set designed by Howard Jones.
This is the second time in Triad Stage's history that we have produced a William Inge play. (The first being Bus Stop back in the fall of 2004.)
Kelsey Hunt, the costume designer, explains the overall neutral color palatte and the reasoning behind her choice.
Here is a sample of one of her renderings AND to see more you should go to the"Closer Look" page on our website.

Preston on Inge: "I found in his work an authentic regional voice, a writer who places his work firmly in a specific context but reaches far beyond his small corner of Kansas toward the universal and the true."
Various pieces of Picnic on the rehearsal table including the model, an old playbill from a Picnic revival, the definitive Inge biography by Ralph Voss.
