Jun 3rd- Jun 6th: Duluth Playhouse presents "Our Town"
Time: Thurs-Sat 7:30 pm/Sun 2 pm
Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize winning American classic is quite simply and literally daily life, love, and marriage, and then death and loss broken down into three charming acts. This lyrical play is a love letter to the everyday details of commonplace life. The luminous microcosm of Grover’s Corners stands for simple truths and eternal connections. In mild bottles and baseballs, choir practice and algebra homework, Wilder depicts the transcendent world as an achingly beautiful place where mere mortals cannot appreciate the all too brief shining moments in time. Our Town never fails to weave its understated magic and draw audiences into all the myriad joys and tragedies of everyday live, and “the way we were in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying.” $21 adults/$19 seniors (65+)/$15 youth & students/ $17 Groups (15+). Held at The Duluth Playhouse.
