The Play

Thornton Wilders’ Our Town chronicles everyday life in an American small town in the early 1900’s. This Pulitzer Prize winning three-act play uses no sets and very few props, relying on the actors to mime many of their actions. Featuring a Stage Manager who addresses the audience directly and even fills in some minor roles, this classic drama debuted in 1938.

"So I’m going to have a copy of this play put in the cornerstone and the people a thousand years from now’ll know a few simple facts about us – … This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying." –Stage Manager
