About OUR TOWN

Day in and day out, Grover's Corners is Any Town, USA. The paper is delivered, the milkman visits, time passes and life continues. It is only when such routines are interrupted that the fleeting beauty of the everyday is brought more clearly into perspective. Join us as the Stage Manager guides us through this elegant portrait of the ordinary but remarkable joys and sorrows that define our lives. Our Town is the best American play celebrating the magic that makes a community.

For the BLUEBARN's final show at its current location, Director Susan Clement-Toberer has assembled 22 dozen of Omaha's finest actors, the largest cast in the company's history. BLUEBARN founding company member Nils Haaland (33 Variations, BLUEBARN Theatre) creates the integral role of the "Stage Manager." Benjamin Thorp and Kelsi Weston make their BLUEBARN debut in the roles of "George" and "Emily." The "Webb" family consists of Ron Chvala, Julie Huff (A Piece of My Heart, BLUEBARN Theatre), and young Kian Roblin. The "Gibbs" family is played by Michael Markey (Hot 'n' Throbbing, BLUEBARN Theatre), Moira Mangiameli (The Goat or Who is Sylvia?, BLUEBARN Theatre), and young Emma Chvala. The citizens of Grovers Corners are comprised of theatre veterans as well as newcomers to the BLUEBARN: Carl Bieber, Steve Broszko, Dennis Collins, Susan Baer Collins, J.J. Davis, Amy Ellefson, Quincy Ellefson, Jennifer Gilg, Mark Kocsis, Steve Miller, Judy Radcliff, Jon Roberson, and Ablan Roblin.
