Chris Palmer, Cynthia House, & Rebecca MeyersGrover's Corners, NH …

First produced and published in 1938, this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of life in the small village of Grover's Corners has become an American classic and is Thornton Wilder's most renowned and most frequently performed play.

"This isn't so much a play of memories as a play about memory—private and public. It evokes nostalgia to warn against it, and argues instead for an acceptance of transience, a celebration of life while it is lived, and a recognition of that small, unknowable fragment of the self that is eternal. ... Our Town transcends twentieth-century America and becomes an enduringly relevant work of art—one about memory, fantasy, and the power and price of both."

(Steve Reynolds, Amazon.com Top 1000 Reviewer)
