Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town is one of the most celebrated plays in American theatre—and nearly 90 years after its premiere, its questions about growing up, falling in love, and making the most of the time we have feel as immediate as ever.
Set in the small town of Grover’s Corners, Our Town follows ordinary people through the extraordinary moments that make up a life. Breaking the fourth wall and stripping away traditional scenery, Wilder invites us to see the characters—and ourselves—a little more clearly.
The Highlander Theatre Company revisits this classic through a contemporary lens, inviting a new generation of performers and audiences into the story and discovering what connects us across time.
