Tucson High Magnet School Performing Arts presents

Our Town

The Pulitzer Prize-winning American Classic

by Thornton Wilder  

 

Described by Edward Albee as "...the greatest American play ever written," Our Town follows the fictional small town of Grover's Corners through three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage," and "Death and Eternity." Narrated by two stage managers and performed with minimal props and sets, audiences follow the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually—in one of the most famous scenes in American Theatre – die.  Join us as Tucson High’s award-winning theatre program brings this American classic - as relevant and moving as it was in 1938 - to stunning, beautiful life.   

 

"Wilder's unfashionable insistence on embracing wonders as well as woe is both gallant and exhilarating ... OUR TOWN leaves us with a sense of blessing, and the unspoiled but palpable command to achieve gratitude in what remains of our days on earth."                                           

- John Lahr, The New Yorker
