2. Our Town

In the small town of Grovers Corners, ordinary people lead extraordinary lives. This simple yet profound story of a community, brought to life by Thornton Wilders singular voice, allows us to contemplate life, death and the meaning of it all. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Miracles are the glory of the commonplace, and change comes slowly to a small New Hampshire town in the early 20th century. People grow up, get married, live and die in a hauntingly beautiful meditation on the glory of daily existence. Wilders Pulitzer Prize-winning play made its debut in 1938, and was hailed as "one of the finest achievements of the current stage." An American time-capsule, it is likely the play will be performed a thousand years from now as a classic of our era.
