Overview

The Claremont Opera House Presents
Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning Classic
Our Town
Step into the quiet beauty of small-town America in Thornton Wilder’s timeless masterpiece, Our Town. Set in the fictional village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, the play intimately follows the lives of George Gibbs and Emily Webb as they journey from childhood companions to young lovers—through the joys of daily life, the tenderness of marriage, and the profound reflection brought by loss.

Structured in three evocative acts—"Daily Life," "Love and Marriage," and "Death and Eternity"—Wilder’s play celebrates the extraordinary within the ordinary. At the heart of Our Town is a powerful reminder: life’s most meaningful moments are often found in the simplest gestures and overlooked routines.

When Emily is granted the chance to revisit a single day from her past, she discovers a universal truth: the fleeting beauty of everyday life is something we seldom cherish until it’s gone. With minimal sets and a transcendent message, Our Town continues to resonate with audiences of all generations. Join us for this deeply moving tribute to love, memory, and the enduring strength of community.
