2025-2026 MATINEE PROGRAM PERFORMANCES

Our Town
By Thornton Wilder
Directed by Mary Kerr

March 13  |  10 am
Black Box Theatre

Curricular Connections: Literature

March 6-15 | Black Box Theatre

The little town of Grover’s Corners contains multitudes. Centered around George and Emily, a young couple in love, the story of their lives together evolves as the acts carry on, intertwined with the story of the town itself, the narrative stewarded by an all-knowing stage manager. A timeless tale that gently reminds us about the importance of appreciating the life we have, and the people with whom we share it.
