Our Town Emphasizes Cycle of Life Spectators of the play Our Town” saw that it was our town. As each character was introduced, the town was formed. Every part in the play was significant. The play Our Town pointed out the conformity that a town such as our own has. Emily Webb (Pat Bohren) grows up in Grover s Corners next to George Gibbs (Don Nymann). First they were playmates, then friends, and finally husband and wife. The audience saw such daily events as Mrs. Webb (Michelle Kundert) and Gibbs (Mary Ann Miller) in their kitchens preparing food for their families; Mr. Webb (Mike Seward) returning home from work as editor of the town paper. Dr. Gibbs (Bill Takacs) going home from his doctoring. There were a number of characters forming the play, such as Simon Stimson (Scott Quehl) the drunk choir director, Mrs. Solms (Shan Ott) a gossipping woman, and Howey Newsom (Mike Haeft) the milkman. Tim Pinnow as the stage manager, explained much of the story and made the audience take a look at their own lives in their own town. The story ended with Emily Webb Gibbs' death during childbirth.
