Synopsis: Described as the greatest American play ever written, 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 play. The story follows 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. Our Town is a play that shares the idea that we live life without really appreciating what it has to offer.

We suggest PG-13

Directed By: Kevin Colbert

COME ON OVER!

This is how country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.

Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
