WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Paul Newman stars in Thornton Wilder's Our Town. Set in Grover's Corners, New Hampshire in 1903, the play follows the town's residents as they live out their small town existence, while shifts of time and an all-knowing narrator give a sense of the interconnectedness of the past, present and future. James Naughton directs.
