FEATURED "Our Town" Churchill Theatre   Show/Hide details
Thornton Wilder's great Pulitzer Prize-winning play about life, love and loss in small town America in the early twentieth century remains as poignant and relevant today as it was 70 years ago. As seen through the eyes of the play's "Stage Manager," Wilder paints a portrait of the idyllic town Grover's Corners in such a way that we wish this is how our own town - rather, our own life - should be: quaint town centers, booming church steeples and townsfolk who are neighborly in the truest form. Wilder's town serves as a mirror in which the key themes of life - the very experiences that draw us all together -- are reflected for the audience in elegant simplicity. Nostalgic in tone, Our Town blends joy and sadness in a beautiful story of timeless appeal that has continued to endear its audiences throughout its long history as a standard of American life. This is one of the most enduring plays of the Theatre. November 7th - November 23rd, 2008 Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 pm Sundays at 2:00 pm Adults $18 (CHT Members $15) Students $10 (CHTMembers $7)
