Our Town

November 1 - 4, 2023

By Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" provides glimpses into life in the fictional small town of Grover's Corner, New Hampshire at the turn of the 20th Century. Once declared "the greatest American play ever written" by famed playwright Edward Albee, "Our Town" subtly carries forward themes that are still relevant and recognizalbe today through its three acts titled "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage," and "Death and Eternity."

Emily Webb and George Gibbs are the young couple at the center of our story which is followed over a span of twelve years as their lives play out adjacently with their neighboring families and recurring neighborhood characters, intertwine romantically with a chance conversation, and are bound together in marriage and ever after. The plot is moved along in a metatheatrical "play-within-a-play" format by stage managers who act as earnest intermediaries between the audience and the town, exploring the mundance moments, emotional highs, and devestating lows of life. The play quietly highlights the every day beauty of the small moments we all miss when living our lives.
