Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize winning play Our Town is centered on the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, a town like any other, between 1901 and 1913. It brings to light themes of the simplicity of American life, appreciation of life while one has it, the importance of love and family, and the cyclical nature of humanity. Using a sparsely set stage and few props, the story of life, love and death unfolds with humor, wit, and exceptionally powerful storytelling, “Our Town” offers us universal truths about what it means to be human — in any town, at any time.
