OUR TOWN
DIRECTED BY TOM McCLARY
Our Town was HCT's first show, performed in 1982 at Tallulah Falls School. Described by Edward Albee as "…the greatest American play ever written," Our Town follows the small town of Grover’s Corners through three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage," and "Death and Eternity." Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, Our Town depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die.
