Looking Back, It May Not Have Been Ridgefield High’s Best Production of Our Town
$18
A playwright invites us along as he returns to his high school gymnatorium on the night before it’s to be torn down, to examine and reimagine the lives that were touched in some way by the building — especially those involved in the school’s many past productions of Our Town. Equal parts earnest love letter and meta dissection of Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece, Looking Back, It May Not Have Been Ridgefield High’s Best Production of Our Town takes the awkward and the cringe-worthy, the hilarious and the tragic, the ordinary and the extraordinary, and explores what it means to be human today.
