"Our Town". Modern. With a Twist

If you think you've visited Grover's Corners, grab your seat and experience this very modern version. Concept based on the current Off Broadway production by David Cromer.

The cast wears contemporary clothing that could have come from their own closets, allowing them to blend with the audience in this intimate production where you feel you are a member of the Grover's Corners community. Without sentimentality or the false balm of nostalgia.

Seating is limited. Reservations required.

Originally staged in 1938, “Our Town” has become so familiar that many miss the philosophical depths due to the traditional staging and packaging. This stripped down version dissolves the barriers between the cast and the audience. Wilder’s text performed in this way pulls focus way back to reveal a cosmic dimension, where joy and sorrow are equal from the vantage point of the stars. There is a flourish in the third act that heightens Emily’s realization that the living are unable to “realize life while they live it… every, every minute.”, helping us, as Wilder sought, to make the simple and ordinary a sacrament.

“Our Town”, is directed by Kevin Ferguson, stage management by Elsbeth Turner, lighting design by Tom Wolf, costuming by Nora Murphy, set design by Lexie Nichols, properties design by Elsbeth Turner, assistant direction by Christine Zagrobelny and assistant stage management by Jason Hassell.
