Frankenstein tells the original story of the iconic monster in a chilling exploration of life, death, and the nature of man. Throughout the play, spectors of death haunt both Victor and the audience, asking a horrible question: what if a sinful man had the power of God? The show incorporates metatheatre and symbolism to explore the Christian perspective behind this classic tale.

OUR TOWN
By Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning classic Our Town blends deceptively simple storytelling with depth of heart and innovative staging technique. Edward Albee called it "the greatest American play ever written." As we travel back to quaint Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire in 1901, we meet teenage Emily and her obtusely well-meaning crush George. We watch the villagers live their daily round of milk delivery, grass cutting, bean snapping and hymn sings. We listen as the public joys and secret sorrows of the populace are quietly revealed. But eventually we are astonished to realize the play isn’t about a New Hampshire village at all.

The author says, “It is an attempt to find a value above all price for the smallest events of our daily life.” And so, as it unwinds, we come to discover that this play is actually All. About. Us.

“Our Town” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
