About the event
Vanishing Elephant Players presents Our Town by Thornton Wilder! Described by Edward Albee as "the greatest American play ever written", it presents the fictional American town of Grover's Corners between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives and deaths of its citizens. Wilder offers a couple of chairs on a bare stage as the backdrop for an exploration of the universal human experience. In the words of Emily Webb, "Does anyone ever realize life while they live it...every, every minute?" This classic of the American stage is appropriate for all ages.
Performance dates: September 13-14 at 7pm, and September 15 at 3pm
