LEGACY PRODUCTION

PREVIOUSLY ON THE CIVIC STAGE IN 1940, 1965, 1987, 2010

ABOUT THE SHOW: OUR TOWN

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, die – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre. 

“No American play describes more powerfully how we imagine ourselves.” – New York Daily News

RATED: PG; suitable for families due to poignant, non-explicit content regarding life and death 

Our Town is presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals

DIGITAL PLAYBILL

Once the show has opened, you can CLICK HERE to access the show’s Digital Playbill. Why digital and not printed? This decision had many factors that went into it including the reduction of our paper footprint in an effort to be more climate-conscious as well as budgetary restrictions coming out of the pandemic. Digital Playbills remain archived long-term and can be accessed HERE.

From promotional and production video trailers to local television and radio spots, you’ll find it all here.
