Our Town
Join us for a magical new staging of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece! In its depiction of the small town of Grover’s Corners, Our Town follows the lives of the Webb and Gibbs families, who fall in love, marry, and grow old. This American classic explores universal themes of life and death, love and friendship, celebrating the wonder of life’s “biggest smallest” moments. Staged by Tony Award-winning MacArthur “Genius” Mary Zimmerman, Our Town will reassert itself as one of the greatest plays ever written, and fill hearts with purpose, beauty, and meaning.
