Proclaimed "the greatest American play ever written," Thornton Wilder's Our Town looks at the power of life and death even in the brightest and most unassuming of settings. Winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1938, this hard-hitting drama finds young lovers George and Emily grappling with lost potential, the sacrifices one makes for love and the beauty found in life if you look hard enough. Narrated by the nameless Stage Manager, the actors perform this profound drama with minimal props or set, often breaking the fourth wall to address the audience directly. Don't miss this groundbreaking new production of the iconic play, which stars Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) and is co-produced with Tony-nominated Deaf West Theatre and performed in both American Sign Language and spoken English.
