OUR TOWN - A Millenium gift for our town

Our Town, winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize, is the story of the people of Grovers Corners, New Hampshire, or Concord, Massachusetts, or any town anywhere. It is the story of each of us "in our growing up and in our marrying, and in our living, and in our dying." Because it reaches deep into the heart of twentieth century American life, it continues to stay alive among us. What better way to start the new century than with Wilder's message of the joy of living "every, every moment" and of hope for a more humane future? If you've seen Our Town before, see it again. As New York critic Walter Kerr once said about a 1969 revival, "You'll be surprised how much younger it is than you are."
