Weathervane Theatre Presents: Our Town

OPENING NIGHT! OUR TOWN

By Thornton Wilder

Winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Our Town is a life-affirming and timeless classic American play.  Simple and profound, Our Town opens with the Stage Manager’s introduction to Grover’s Corners, a fictional town based on Peterborough, New Hampshire.  Take a walk through time and life in a small town, circa 1901.  You’ll meet familiar locals such as Doc Gibbs, Howie Newsome and George and Emily in their day-to day activities, all sharing their lives, loves and losses. Wilder’s beautifully written play is a touching reminder of the short journey we’re all on, and a welcome lesson in having gratitude for the time we have together.

Catch Our Town onstage at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31; Friday, August 3; Tuesday, August 7; Friday, August 10; Monday, August 13; and Wednesday, August 29.
