by Thornton Wilder
Directed by Victoria Erville

First produced in 1938, the Pulitzer-Prize winning Our Town has become an American stage treasure.  The play – Wilder’s best-known and most frequently performed work - reveals the ordinary lives of the people in the small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire. Our Towndefies most conventional theatrical genres - it is neither a comedy nor a tragedy, neither a romance nor a farce. It is, rather, a contemplative work and richly timeless commentary on nothing less than the tragicomedy of human existence.
