“Our Town”

Written by Thornton Wilder
Directed by Dr. Mark Burnette

This classic drama is about the small town of Grover's Corner in New Hampshire. The play is narrated by the Stage Manager who introduces the audience to the townsfolk of Grover's Corners. The daily routine of several characters is related to the audience, time elapses and finally the question is asked, “Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it—every, every minute?”  The answer? Well, you just need to come see the play!
