Our Town

K-Central Theatre Department Presents: OUR TOWN

Our Town is a disarmingly beautiful story of love and death. The compelling events and emotions within Wilder's masterpiece actually parallel our own lives today. Deep within these universal themes and timeless understandings, pain and humor resides not only for the citizens of Grover's Corners, but for audiences everywhere who will share the ultimate tale of community in this American classic!!

"Our Town is about the blessing of a communal space to gather and tell stories, to do the only thing we really can do for each other--which is to witness, to collectively witness life, death and struggle." --Jessica Thebus

"While all of Wilder's work is intelligent, non-synthetic and often moving, as well as funny, it is Our Town that makes the difference. It is probably the finest play ever written by an American." Edward Albee

"Thornton Wilder's masterpiece...An immortal tale of small town morality [and]...a classic of soft spoken theater." The New York Times

"Beautiful and remarkable one of the sagest, warmest and most deeply human scripts to have come out of our theatre...A spiritual experience." The New York Post

"No American play describes more powerfully how we imagine ourselves."- The New York Daily News

"No play ever moved me so deeply." Alexander Woolcott, The New Yorker
