Lyric Arts: Our Town

Birth; marriage; death. And everything in between.

Morning breaks on another ordinary day in Grover’s Corners. The townsfolk go about their business: newspapers are delivered, meals are cooked and eaten, people go to work, gardens are tended to, and a boy and girl fall in love. But as life’s events unfold and a community comes together, one question remains: “do any human beings ever realize life as they live it? Every, every minute?” Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play celebrates what it means to be human and the bonds that unite us all.
