Community Education’s very own Community Theater Troupe, The Theater Lab, proudly presents a four performance run of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize winning play, “Our Town”. Written in 1938, “Our Town” is a three-act play that tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens. As written on thorntonwilder.com, the official website of the Thornton Wilder family, “Our Town explores the relationship between two young Grover’s Corners neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage. When Emily loses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts of Our Town–growing up, adulthood, and death–is fully realized.” Ticket Pricing: Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 at the door.
