Our Town

August 13-31
Drama by Thornton Wilder Starring James Whitmore and James Whitmore, Jr. Featuring Jon L. Egging, Karron Graves (Fallen Angels, Return of the Screw), Kathy Manfre., Michael Page, Dee Nelson, and Kraig Swartz

James Whitmore will reprise his role as the Stage Manager in this classic. Written by Thornton Wilder and inspired by his frequent stays in Peterborough as a MacDowell Colonist, the Pulitzer-Prize winning Our Town has become an American stage treasure and is Wilder’s (not to mention the Players’) most renowned and frequently performed play. Set at the turn of the 20th century, the play reveals the ordinary lives of the people in the small town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, U.S.A. As the Stage Manager, Whitmore narrates Wilder’s immortal tale of love, marriage, death and daily life. A sell-out each time it it is produced by the Players, Our Town is sure to be a hit this year as well.
