Our Town

November 21 at 2pm and 8pm

On November 18th through the 21st at 8:00 p.m. in the Montgomery Theatre in the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, the Theatre Arts Program presents Thornton Wilder’s classic play, Our Town, one of the great works of the American theatre. Our Town celebrates the love, strength of character, and simple generosity that bind together the citizens of a small New England town and, by implication, of America.  As relevant today as it was when first performed in 1938 during a similar time of economic and social crisis in America, Our Town does more than just idealize a long-lost innocent time in our country’s past.  The play asks audiences:  What is it that remains alive in the American character that, despite the passing of the decades, enables us to endure as a country?  Please join the dedicated student cast of Our Town as they bring to vivid theatrical life the town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire at the start of the 20th Century.
