Our Town by Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder's timeless classic about everyday life in rural America, circa 1900, still speaks powerfully to today's audiences, capturing the beauty and pain of day-to-day living that continues to resonate.

Mounted on a mostly bare stage without props, the two dozen cast members who portray citizens of Grover's Corners operate in an illusory space, where time and setting is only minimally relevant. The story, the experiences, the characters are timeless and universal.

"The artful simplicity of Wilder's prose and structure in creating a microcosm of a New Hampshire village of the early 1900s remains remarkable and beguiling. As the playwright positions the town of Grover's Corners and its mundane individuals against the vast context of endless time and a boundless universe, his drama celebrates both the marvel of everyday existence and the /something way down deep that's eternal about every human being'." -- The New York Times
