Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Our Town has long been considered a masterpiece
of classic American Theatre. Featuring the town of Grover’s Corners
and centering on the Gibbs and Webb families, Our Town details the
interaction between citizens as it passes forward and back through time to
beautifully illustrate not only the joys of everyday life, but also the pain and
loss that comes to everyone. Using minimal stage sets, unconventional
timelines and an omniscient Stage Manager who conducts the story,
playwright Thornton Wilder weaves a powerfully moving tale of life’s trials and
tribulations. "Thornton Wilder's masterpiece.... An immortal tale of small town
morality [and] ... a classic of soft spoken theater." N.Y. Times.
