Our Town

All performances are sold out!

A mother's voice, the smell of bacon, a choir rehearsal, a soda shared at Mr. Morgan’s drug store—with the passage of time, daily routines and commonplace moments become special memories. 

See. Remember. Pay attention to the beauty of the “everyday” in Our Town--Ned Rorem’s new American Opera adapted from the Pulitzer-Prize winning play by Thornton Wilder.
