JUNE 6th to 21st, 2008 THE VILLAGE PLAYERS PRESENT - "BUS STOP" Location: The Village Players of Hatboro, 401 Jefferson Ave., Hatboro, PA 19040 Curtain Times: Fridays & Saturdays - 8:00 pm June 8th - Sunday Matinee - 2:00 pm Admission: $12.00 Friday & Saturday; $10.00 Sunday Matinee. "BUS STOP" Warmhearted compassion and appreciation of average humanity that can be wonderfully touching and stimulating. Synopsis: In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and the travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse, is the passenger with the most to worry about. She's been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a young cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. Even as she's ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, "Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I'm gonna end up in Montana …" As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the diner gets her first taste of love.
