Synopsis:
Our Town, the timeless drama of life in the village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, has become an American classic with universal appeal. Our Town is a three part ‘Metatheatre’ styled play following the story of the fictional small town of Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire in 1901 to 1913.The story is told from multiple peoples perspectives, but mostly the narrative comes from two families who have children who get married to each other.
The theatre stage manager who choreographs a theatrical production within the main show, cleverly narrates the main production as well.
