White Guy on the Bus (WGOTB) is a first-rate, new play that has more than a stunning surprise or two. Stratford's Tom Holehan directs this fearless new play by Bruce Graham, which unravels a complex web of moral ambiguity, revenge, and racial bias taking the characters and the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride prompting the Chicago Tribune to call it "a play with guts and it goes for the jugular."

The title obviously concerns race, but there is so much more...instead of an issue-driven debate; it's a powerful story about characters struggling with titanic decisions and negotiating desperately to save themselves. When key plot points are revealed, every cynical retort, frustration-fueled rant and defensive comeback relates to the story's twists and turns.

The cast of White Guy on the Bus includes Stratford's Erma Elliott and Bruce Murray, New Canaan's Janet Rathert plus the husband-and-wife team of Emily and Ian Diedrich of Middlebury, Connecticut.
