Thornton Wilder received the Pulitzer Prize in 1938 for Our Town, and since then it has been acknowledged as arguably the very best American play ever written. This loving, perceptive and deceptively simple picture of a New England town remains a moving and delightful experience, whether for the first time or for the fiftieth. It’s a wonderful love story, a touching look at a simpler time, and a connection with our humanity. A show for the entire family to experience together!
