About the Show
Set in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, Our Town paints a moving and deeply human portrait of everyday life in a small community. Told through the eyes of the Stage Manager, the play follows the Webb and Gibbs families as they navigate the quiet beauty and inevitable struggles of life, from childhood to marriage and ultimately to death.
