our town Peyton Place it wasn't, but those of us who saw the Thespian version of Thornton Wilder's Our Town enjoyed and identified with it just the same. Of course we wondered at first if narrator Proctor Harveris pipe tobacco was hallucinagenic when he pointed to thin air and said, This is Main St., and that is the livery stable, but we quickly learned that everybody in Our Town had X-Ray vision. And we soon realized that Our Town was just another small town where the townsfolk went through daily rituals with invisible utensils, lived in non- existent houses and read transparent newspapers. Yes, we got to know those towns- people well. We witnessed the devel- opment of a passionate romance be- tween baseball star Tom Simpson and prudent student Joan Riouxf We saw how alcohol corrupted church choir director Scott Brown. We marvelled at the lively reunion of corpses in the town graveyard and agreed with Joan that it was the most spirited place in town. And so we watched a whole life- time flit by in Our Town until the curtains closed and we finally understood that life would go on un- consciously in Our Town when living had long ago ceased. tCiimaxed by one heck of a bear hug.
