Directed by assistant professor Lauren Shouse, “Our Town” was written by Thornton Wilder and was first performed in Princeton, New Jersey, on Jan. 22, 1938. The three-act play was later successful on Broadway and earned the Pulitzer Prize for drama.

“Our audience can expect to see a new take on ‘Our Town’ as we approach this timeless story with a focus on community,” Shouse said. “The play asks whether living in the present in every moment is possible. While that is challenging in our daily lives, we hope the play can be a wakeup call to pay more attention to the things that make life worth living.”
