A literary classic, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town continues to leave
audiences awestruck with wonder and a shared sense of our humanity. Guided by an amiable
stage manager, the theatre becomes turn-of-the-century Grover’s Corners, where the
occurrences of everyday life reveal universal truths about community and love, life and death.
“A hauntingly beautiful play” (The New York Times), Our Town is both deeply allegorical and
endlessly captivating.
From STC’s Associate Artistic Director Alan Paul: “Our Town is more than a play—it’s a ritual of
renewal. I can’t wait to hear Thornton Wilder’s timeless words fill Sidney Harman Hall as we
emerge from this pandemic and come back to the theatre. After such a long time apart, it
seemed only fitting to reunite audiences with the local D.C. artists that they best recognize and
love. It feels like a sort of homecoming for artists and audiences alike.”
In choosing to program this production for STC’s 36th Season Artistic Director Simon Godwin
offers, “Our Town is a celebration of community. One of the greatest American plays, this
production—starring all local actors—will be a glorious affirmation of our city and the healing
power of stories. Wondrous, tender, and humane, Our Town will be the healing tonic all of us
need.”
Our Town is generously sponsored by Anita M. Antenucci, Bonnie and Louis Cohen, John and
Meg Hauge, and Maureen and Michael McMurphy.
Shakespeare Theatre Company’s 2021/22 Season is made possible by Michael R. Klein and Joan
Fabry and the Harman Family Foundation.
