Our Town by Thornton Wilder Presented by Ozarks Technical Community College
Location: The Gillioz Theatre 325 Park Central East Springfield, MO 65806
Tickets: $10
Description: The most produced play in American theatre history, “Our Town” centers on the life of Grovers Corners, a northeast farm community. Narrated by the Stage Manager, “Our Town” introduces us to two families—the Gibbs and the Webbs—through whom we experience the serenity of their daily lives, the joining of their children in marriage, and the struggle with leaving the world in death. The success of this play has been in the magic and beauty of its sheer simplicity, and its ability to allow audiences to touch the universal and profound mysteries of the human condition.
