Our Town

Read the press release.

BEN LOMOND, CA – Those who hear “Our Town” and think “simple,” or “quaint,” or “high school” are in for a surprise. MCT’s new production of Thornton Wilder’s great, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is designed to make the play come alive in an intimate, transformed, Park Hall setting, and to breathe great gusts of life into the script that has been produced thousands of times all over the world. MCT is using Wilder’s original script, rather than the more sugary sweet version that is usually performed. This production retains all of Wilder’s biting commentary on human foibles, as well as his powerful insights into the human condition.

The cast includes local actors Rita Wadsworth, MarNae Taylor, Michael La Mere, Emily Olsen, Shannon Marie Kerr, Arindam Krishna Das, and Spencer Bullock.
