Our Town in Washington, DC: Theater and Dance Events on washingtonpost.com:
"For better or worse, the reputation of “Our Town” precedes it. Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer-winner-turned-community-theater-staple has name recognition even beyond the casual theater fan. Just the title of the play conjures its quaint setting -- the fictional New England town of Grover’s Corners in the early 20th century -- and its renown as a sentimental tear-jerker.
That wasn’t the play Wilder set out to write, and it certainly isn’t the production Stephen Rayne is showcasing at Ford’s Theatre in celebration of the drama’s 75th anniversary. "
I would love to see this production. A great play, usually mangled. Sounds like this one is true to the heart of the material.
