Thornton Wilder’s American Classic, filled with unexpected humor is given a thrilling new production directed by noted Broadway director David Esbjornson. Its poignant- and pointed-observations on life and love as seen by the residents of the fictional village of Grover’s Corners are as relevant today as when the play was premiered.

Pay-What-You-Can Tickets are available for the May 13th performance ONLY. Purchase must be paid for in cash-- $1 minimum, with a maximum of 4 tickets per person.
