About this event
Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Our Town, is a timeless exploration of the human experience. Set in the fictionalized small town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, between 1901 and 1913, it follows the daily routines, loves, and tragedies of the Gibbs and Webb families. The play is famously performed with limited stage scenery and almost no props, using pantomime to encourage audiences to focus on the universal themes rather than design. We’ve selected Our Town for this season to highlight the 250th celebration by focusing on small town America, and specifically “Our Town” of New Canaan.
