Our Town

Our Town

Ford's Theatre
511 Tenth Street, N.W. Washington

In Thornton Wilder's drama Our Town, the touching and timeless stories of the locals invite the audience to consider their own lives and choices and what is most important in life. Our Town follows young lovers George Gibbs, Emily Webb and their families. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, and is narrated by the Stage Manager, who guides the audience through the action. Stephen Rayne (The Heavens Are Hung In Black, Sabrina Fair and Parade) returns to Ford's Theatre to direct this quintessential piece of American drama in celebration of the play's 75th anniversary. Rayne's production of the play emphasizes its timeless qualities -- it's set in no specific time or place, and its racially diverse casting reflects the towns of today.
