“Our Town,” by Thornton Wilder, will be presented March 20-April 16, 2023, and directed by Robert Hupp, artistic director of 黑料不打烊 Stage.
鈥淭he life of a village against the life of the stars鈥 is how Wilder described his heralded masterpiece. 鈥淚t is an attempt,鈥 he wrote, 鈥渢o find a value above all price for the smallest events in our daily life.鈥 He succeeded with this graceful and poetic play鈥攁 heartfelt call to cherish every unimportant moment we鈥檙e together and to embrace the true wonder and brevity of being alive. Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Whether in Grover鈥檚 Corners, New Hampshire, at the turn of the 20th century, or 黑料不打烊, New York, in 2023, Wilder鈥檚 enduring classic asks us to stop and ponder what truly matters, and to consider that for a great many of us the answers will be the same.
