Overview

Uh, hi. Yeah.
Welcome to… this play that we’re doing. Our Town. We're gonna show you some… well, like, I’m just going to show you around our rehearsal. We go up in a month. We’re not ready. But here we are.

Our Play captures the lives of high school students as they mount a production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, mirroring the classic’s style and structure in three acts: rehearsal, opening night and the tragic school shooting that follows. A beautiful inspection of high school adolescence, community in a high school theatre, and the hopes and fears of growing into a life.
