William Inge's 1955 play Bus Stop gets an all-Asian American revival courtesy of Classic Stage Company, NAATCO, and Transport Group beginning May 8 at CSC's Lynn F. Angelson Theater. Opening night is May 18, and the run will continue through June 8.
Midori Francis (Dash and Lily) leads the ensemble cast as Cherie, with Delphi Borich (Into the Woods) as Elma, Rajesh Bose (Life of Pi) as Dr. Lyman, Cindy Cheung (The Antiquities) as Grace, David Lee Huynh (The Trial of the Catonsville Nine) as Will, Michael Hsu Rosen (The Sex Lives of College Girls) as Bo, David Shih (Gnit) as Carl, and Moses Villarama (Cambodian Rock Band) as Virgil.

The work centers on the happenings in a midwestern bus stop when stormy weather strands a bus full of eccentric passengers. Marilyn Monroe famously starred as Cherie in a 1956 film version, with Kim Stanley creating the role on stage.
Transport Group Artistic Director Jack Cummings III is at the helm for the new staging, which features scenic design by Peiyi Wong, costume design by Mariko Ohigashi, and lighting design by R. Lee Kennedy. Kevin Zhu serves as production stage manager.
