A Day In “Our Town” Grover’s Corner, N.H., just across the Massachusetts line. It's not a very remarkable town. A typical day in the life of the town begins with Shorty Hawkins flagging the 5:45 train for Boston, while Mrs. Gibbs (Trina Zippe) and Mrs. Webb (Kym Koester) come downstairs to fix breakfast for their children, Emily and Wally Webb (Heather Howard and Olin Morrow) and George and Emily Gibbs (Bobby Stanley and Sandra Bell) and their husbands. Dr. Gibb (Andy Olson) and Charles Webb (Tim Schmidt). Howie Newsom (Andy Stone) delivers the milk, and Si Crowell or his brother Joe (Terry Davis and Jeremy Koester) deliver the paper. At the end of the day, Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Webb, and Mrs. Soames (Annette Browning) can be overheard singing in Simon Stimpson’s (Steve Moore) church choir as Constable Warren (Greg Meisinger) checks the store doors along main street. Our Town, set in small town familiar to most Americans, showed us some things about human beings everywhere, and about the value and joy of life, often overlooked and neglected until too late.
