Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” Our Town depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually die. A soaring exploration of human existence. Support American Theatre: a just and thriving theatre ecology begins with information for all.
