William Inge Theatre Festival

Broadway and Hollywood meet in mid-America in the prairie town of Independence, Kansas, each year at the William Inge Theatre Festival. An internationally renowned playwright and accomplished actors and directors flock to this burg of 10,000 people for performances, public workshops and social events. Since its founding in 1981, writers such as Arthur Miller, Neil Simon, August Wilson, and Stephen Sondheim have traveled to southeast Kansas for this intimate and fun gathering of stage and screen talent.

A famous playwright accepts the festival's Distinguished Achievement in the American Theatre Award. It is named after the late William Inge, the Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist of "Picnic" and Oscar-winning screenwriter of "Splendor in the Grass." Independence, Kansas, is Inge's hometown, and the populace volunteers by the hundreds to welcome travelers coming to pay homage to the town's favorite son.
