Our Town

By Thornton Wilder
​Directed by Aaron Posner

This seminal American classic gets a new look from the acclaimed director and adapter Aaron Posner (The Chosen, District Merchants, No Sisters). In this new production, faithful to the script and sanctioned by the Wilder Family Estate, just seven actors portray the key characters in this intergenerational story set in the quintessential American hamlet of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire. The actors will also manipulate and animate Bunraku-style puppets to represent the rest of the townspeople. Helen Hayes Award winner and OTC Artistic Associate Jon Hudson Odom (Angels in America) plays the coveted role of the Stage Manager, who guides us through this beloved and stirring story.
