OUR TOWN
at Redtwist Theatre
September 6 - October 29, 2017
By Thornton Wilder
Directed by James Fleming
"With thoughtfully inclusive casting... Fleming’s charming staging makes the case that Wilder’s enduring themes apply to a far broader swath of humanity than you would have seen performing it 80 years ago." - Kris Vire, Time Out Chicago
"It is a keen and interesting perspective on what life might look like if diverse communities were the norm... Exceptionally sincere performances." - Danielle Levsky, New City Stage

"RECOMMENDED. Certainly, seeing such variety onstage heightens our awareness of the many constituencies Wilder didn't contemplate referencing back in 1938—the people who couldn't have a home in Grover's Corners. Yet his writing manages to accommodate them all just the same... [T]he ultimate subject of Our Town is life and death and the fact that latter comes inevitably to anyone who gets to experience the former. Nobody gets excluded from that." - Tony Adler, Chicago Reader
