Company C Presents Our Town
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
The “Company C” Studio Ensemble kicks off the Canadian College of Performing Arts’ 19th season with the Pulitzer Prize winning play Our Town, the most famous and well known of Thornton Wilder’s plays. Set in the early 1900s, the story of Our Town is a “slice of life” look at two ordinary families living next door to each other in the town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. First performed in 1938, Our Town explores the everyday lives of the Gibbs and Webb families and how they and the townspeople of Grover’s Corners experience the mysteries of life, love, and death.
Performed almost entirely without props or a set, the actions and sound effects are created live by the cast. In this way, Thornton Wilder encourages audiences to see how elements of their own town mirror Grover’s Corners and vice versa. “The transparency of the play (with no set) allows us to reach into our own memories and imagination to create Our Town and allows us more space to create our own notions of the eternal”, says acclaimed Vancouver Director James Fagan Tait, who is excited to return for a 4th season of collaboration with “Company C”.
