FALL MAIN STAGE 2026 | NO LATE SEATING

Written By Thornton Wilder | Directed by Guest Artist Jeffrey Lo

A Stage Manager enters before us calling for time. But it’s not a rehearsal they are calling us in for, it’s real life. In Thornton Wilder’s masterwork Our Town we experience life in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and finally, “Death and Eternity.” In a world where the possibility of humanity losing its grasp on reality looms large, the resonance of this classic reverberates today as strongly as it did when first written and in one of those most stunning scenes in the American canon, we come face to face with what it is we have already lost.

Hailed by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” this enduring story continues to ask us—generations later—how to use our time, how to love our time and how to run out of time.
