Our Town - Metea Valley High School Spring Play

Our Town is a classic drama of life in the mythical village of Grovers Corners, New Hampshire, and has become an American classic with universal appeal. Thornton Wilders most frequently performed play, Our Town first appeared on Broadway in 1938 to wide acclaim, and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama.

Our Town explores the relationship between two young Grovers Corners neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage.

Throughout the show, the simple story of a love affair is constantly rediscovered because it asks timeless questions about the meaning of love, life, and death through the performance of every character. It is a timeless reminder to the audience to ask ourselves what, who truly matters in our lives? What will we remember and value as time passes? Wilder asks that we slow down, and appreciate life; be it day-to-day, hour-to-hour, or every minute with those we value most, because in the end, only the memory remains.
