Bus Stop is a successful Broadway classic comedy by one of America's most skilled and respected playwrights. A bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a roadside diner in the middle of a howling snowstorm. All roads are blocked and the five weary travelers are going to have to hold up until morning.

big-eyed girl, still in high school, an innocent.

to 40's.
