'Our Town'

What the world needs now is love, sweet love — and Lost Nation Theater’s timely production of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-winning magnum opus Our Town. The Montpelier troupe transforms its city hall space into the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, N.H., bringing to life what the New York Post calls “one of the sagest, warmest and most deeply human scripts” in the canon of American theater. Through the layering of ordinary vignettes, the evergreen masterwork — revived five times since its Broadway debut in 1938 — peels back the façade of everyday life to reveal the profound yet rarely appreciated joys of being human.
