Thornton Wilder's Our Town at Lake Worth Playhouse

By Thornton Wilder

A landmark in American drama, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town tells the story of a small town, Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, to tell us the story of every town, the whole world over. Narrated by the “Stage Manager”, we follow the Gibbs and Webb families, residents of Grover’s Corners, through twelve years of life and its changes. Wilder delivers universal truths about what it means to be human. With humor, wit, and exceptionally powerful storytelling, Our Town offers a unique opportunity for audience members to make precisely that realization.

“Beautiful and remarkable one of the sagest, warmest and most deeply human scripts to have come out of our theatre… A spiritual experience.” – New York Post

“Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece… An immortal tale of small-town morality… a classic of soft spoken theater.” – The New York Times
