overview
Written in 1938, Our Town has become a timeless classic since its publication. Throughout the story the Stage Manager (Sophomore McKelvie Jensen) helps to highlight day-to-day life in the small fictional town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, focusing especially on the Webb and Gibbs families. The Webb household consists of Mr. Webb (Senior Zack Blauvelt), the editor of the local paper, his wife (Freshman Amelia LeVea), his daughter Emily (Senior Ruby Schwartz), and his son Wally (Junior Owen McFarland). A young Emily develops a close friendship with their neighbor, George Gibbs (Sophomore Jacob Eskildsen), who lives with his father Dr. Gibbs (Junior Paul Gaston), his mother (Junior Rielly Stewart), and his younger sister Rebecca (Freshman Mary Gulick). The play traces this friendship as it grows into something more across the years, though this is simply a lens through which the audience can catch a glimpse of small town life. Grover’s Corners is brought to life by its numerous other inhabitants, played by cast members Lee Miller, Juan Espana, Violet McCarley, Collin Cummings, Ollieve Hawthorn, Riley Dallos, Hailei Kirkland, and Raigen Sayers. The town and its people help us to see the beauty and the importance of everyday life.
