In Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, one of the greatest American classics, we join the Stage Manager as he takes us back to a simpler time in the town of Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire, at the turn of the 20th century. In the allegoric town that represents all American lives, we meet the Gibbs and Webb families, alongside the milk man, the paperboy, and many other average citizens.

The focus in this story is the children of both families, particularly George Gibbs and Emily Webb. Across its masterful three acts, we follow the human life cycle; childhood, adulthood, and death.
