Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
"Winner of the Pulitzer Prize"
(A DRAMA 20 PRODUCTION)
Our Town Photo Gallery!
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. This heartwarming play has echoes of classic Greek drama: the stage manager as chorus and the three-act structure as trilogy. Like its Greek ancestors, Our Town concerns itself with the continuing cycle of life, humankind's nearest understanding of eternity.
The central values of the play - Christian morality, community, the family, appreciation of everyday pleasures - are traditional. Yet, Wilder's methods of presenting these values on the stage are anything but. He relates the here-and-now of a small New England village to the timeless concerns of all humankind. He builds the action of the play toward the dramatic revelation that human life, however painful, dreary or inconsequential in daily events, is both a precious gift in its own right as a well as a portion of the mysterious plan that rests in the "Mind of God".
