Description
Our Town is Thornton Wilder's 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning American drama about life, love and realizing "every, every minute."
The play tells the story of the fictional American town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, between 1901 and 1913 through everyday events in the lives of its citizens. Wilder used several theatrical devices, setting the play in the actual theater where it is being performed, and having several characters speak directly to the audience. The play is traditionally performed without a set (other than two tables, chairs, and a few minimal pieces standing in for other furniture and locations), and the actors typically mime their actions without the use of props. Although period costuming was originally used and often still is, the play is now performed just as frequently in modern dress to emphasize its timelessness.
Actors in the production have not only rehearsed the play and discussed its history and themes, but they have been involved in several team-building activities and workshops to give a true ensemble feel to the piece. The play is directed by Darren Farrington and Angela Klimaytis.
