Hebrew Tabernacle: Pied Piper Theatre presents Our Town

Our Town follows characters in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, through events such as “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage,” and “Death and Eternity.” The staging is famously minimal, and the action is narrated by a person known only as the Stage Manager. The deceptively simple structure of Our Town veils the profound question at its heart: What is it like to be a human being during our short time on Earth?

Moving, universal, and complex, the play reminds us of our shared humanity.
