Our Town

  • The Bobbie Olsen Theater at Sharon Playhouse 49 Amenia Road Sharon, CT, 06069 United States (map)

SEPTEMBER 15 - 7pm
IN THE BOBBIE OLSEN THEATER

Described by Edward Albee as "the greatest American play ever written," Our Town presents the small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage," and "Death and Eternity." Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die. Thornton Wilder's final word on how he wanted his play performed is an invaluable addition to the American stage and to the libraries of theatre lovers internationally.
