Hailed as “probably the finest play ever written by an American,” Our Town casts its gaze on the citizens of Grover’s Corners. As the show’s narrator takes the audience through several decades in the life of this community, the everyday moments which compromise the human experience are portrayed with a rolling mixture of laughter, terror, and wonder.
The show features a cast of young artists from the St. Johns County area as well as teaching artists on staff at Apex Theatre Studio.
“This play speaks directly to those things which all of us have in common as human beings,” says director Ian Mairs, “we feel it is important at this moment of time to explore such a work which promotes universal empathy and understanding.”
This production of Our Town is supported in part by a State of the Arts grant from the St. Johns Cultural Council.
