Play set in y 50s explores relationships at StageCen
BY HINA PATEL
The Battalion
O n Main Street, in downtown Bryan,
amidst cars, concrete streets and build
ings, a picnic is taking place.
This may not be something seen everyday,
but “Picnic” is a play being performed at
StageCenter on April 8, 9, 10 and 15, 16, 17 at
7:30 p.m.
The Pulitzer Prize winning classic “Picnic”
explores the relationship between a girl and
her mother, against the backdrop of the 1950s.
Leah Fletcher, director of “Picnic,” said the
play is set in a period when women were re
turning to their homes.
“It’s a time when women were being kicked
out of jobs that they had because the men
were back from World War II, and (they) need
ed the jobs to support their families,” Fletch
er said.
The original play was adapted into a film
starring Rosalind Russell, William Holden and
Kim Novak in 1955.
“We were amazed at how well-written the
original play was. All we did was add a cou
ple words and drop a few words here and
there so the audience would not get thrown
off,” Fletcher said.
Jessica Wunsch, who plays the lead char
acter Madge Owens, said she has had to grow
as an actress to play the part.
“Madge is a lovable girl who is attractive,
sweet and soon to be engaged to a wealthy
man,” Wunsch said. “But she is tired of being
valued for her beauty only and is sweeped off
her feet by Hal.
“Madge is someone who is docile, and
speaks only when spoken to, and I, myself, am
just the opposite, so it was kind of hard to act
the part.”
Madge’s mother, Slo Owens, wants her
daughter to marry into wealth, while Madge
wants to marry for love, and this is where the
conflict begins.
Julie Hoyle, who plays the part of Slo
Owens said her character wants to make sure
her daughters are well-off.
“Even though Slo wants what is best for her
daughters, it is hard for Madge to see that, so
there is a difference in opinion between Slo
and Madge,” Hoyle said.
“I have learned so much from this because
I have a 4-year-old daughter, so I suppose I am
getting to practice this before it actually hap
pens.”
The plot unfolds over the span of two days
and a morning.
On one of those days is a Labor Day picnic,
from which the play’s name is derived.
“When Madge and Hal meet, it is love at
first sight,” Hoyle said. “They decide not to go
to the picnic but rather spent the day togeth
er.”
Hoyle said the hardest scene for her to do
was one of the last scenes in the play.
“The end scene with the mother and
daughter was intense, it was difficult to make
it flow just right,” Hoyle said. “It was very
emotional.”
Fletcher said the cast is what sets “Picnic”
apart from all the others.
“We have a fabulous cast to work with,
they have a great chemistry and you can tell
they really enjoy being around one another,”

William Inge’s Pulitzer Prize winning play “Picnic,” stars Alan Seymour (Stephen Lair)ari
Owens (Jessica Wunsch), in a tale about first love in a small town.
she said.
Fletcher said people really enjoy live the
ater because of the energy created between the
audience and the actors.
“The actors really get involved in it,”
Fletcher said.
“It’s really different than anything you’ve
ever seen on television.”
Wunsch said although this is just a hobby
of hers, she has gained much from the experi
ence, and encourages others to try to expand
their horizons by taking part inapla?
“It is a great way to meet peopled
touch with your creative side," llto'ii
“We spent about four nights a weeU
weeks at three hours each just reheat
it was so much fun and I got to meets
new people. ”
