Youth Drama - Thorton Wilder classic. In three acts the play offers three snapshots of life in a small town in New Hampshire in the early 1900s narrated by a stage manager who speaks directly to the audience and moves in and out of the play as various characters. Using little or no set or props the minimalist approach was ground breaking in 1938. The audience is 100% focused on the actors as they bring to life the characters and ordinary lives they live. You'll get to know two families and a number of figures in the small town, and through them, the rhythms of life, love, joy and sorrow in that town, and by analogy, life in almost any community anywhere. We see how the small daily things that happen in all of our lives are the essence of our lives – and the play delivers this message simply and powerfully.
