Wilder’s ‘Our Town’ Projects Realism Thornton Wilder's “Our Town” takes place in Grover’s Corners. New Hampshire at the turn of the twentieth century. The details have been purpose y generalized so that you can imagine your own town and family, allowing the story to overlap with your life. This explains Wilder’s use of a nearly bare stage and minimal properties. The play is classified as realism, but only as Our Town becomes real to you. As with any work of art. your point of contact as observer assumes the role of evaluator as well. The director encourages you to seek not only entertainment from the performance but also an insight into Wilder's philosophy and value system as it is revealed in the play, (reprinted from comments made by Director Rebecca Baker) 1. Childhood sweethearts Emily Webb and George Gibbs (Lori LaHaye and Jeff Kohns) enter wedded bliss. 2 John butt. Don Adamson, and Jeff Kohns philosophize about life in Our Town. 3. Emily Webb (Lori LaHaye) arrives in the graveyard and learns of the new life after death. The townspeople inferm her that she sould not try to reive her past. 4 Tracy Knight, playing the part of the Stogc Manager , receives a lost minute touch-up on his make-up. 5. Mrs. Webb. Mrs. Soames. and Mrs. Gibbs (Debbie Ransom. Lorelei Rhines. and Susan Justice) converse about love and marriage. 6. Director Rebecca Baker exhibits pain in her left arm. 7.
