Long after it won the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Our Town remains one of the most enduring American plays of all time, reminding us to celebrate love, family, community, and the beauty in the ordinary. Perhaps no other play rings truer today. Thornton Wilder’s magnificent Our Town is, at its heart, about us. All of us who are swept up by time and subject to inescapable change. As another ordinary day begins, the inhabitants of a small American town go about their business: newspapers are delivered; people go to work; gardens are tended, a couple falls in love. But as life’s events unfold, one question remains: "Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?" Our Town has lasted as one of the most produced US plays in the global modern repertoire. This is not for its statement on the American character or a throwback to a simpler time, but because its true concerns transcend the specifics of turn-of-the-20th-century.
Running Time: approx. 2 hour 15 minutes, with one intermission
