When a handsome, mysterious, drifter (Hal) blows into a small Kansas town on Labor Day, he ignites the emotions of the complacent townsfolk and turns their seemingly idealic world upside down. The women, looking for escape, and the men, confused and unsure, take refuge in Hal’s charismatic personality as he brings a source of life and light into their limited existence.

Winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Outer Critics Circle Award and the New York Drama Critics Award, Picnic (in stark contrast to the American Dream image so familiar to audiences of the 1950s) has come to be regarded as a pioneering drama for its frank depiction of sexual impropriety and cynical take on the “love conquers all” theory.
