Our Town

Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of life in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire has been a beloved American classic for nearly a century. It is the story of a love affair that asks timeless, sentimental and often amusing questions about love, life, and death.

Our Town explores the relationship between young neighbors George and Emily, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, then marriage.  With poignancy and amusing irony, this landmark of world drama, hailed by everyone from Edward Albee to Albert Einstein, shows what it means to appreciate life while we’re living it, and considers what awaits us after that.

Widely considered one of the greatest plays of all time, Our Town debuted on Broadway in 1938 and continues to be performed on stages around the world.
