FALL 2021 Theatre production of Our Town

[Jennifer.Matott@plattsburgh.edu]

Starting on November 11, 2021, the SUNY Plattsburgh Department of Theatre
will present Thornton Wilder’s *Our Town*. This new and modern
interpretation of the classic play features translations into Spanish by
playwright Nilo Cruz and celebrates the fictional town of Grover’s Corners
as a multilingual and multicultural community of today.



Often considered one of the greatest American plays ever written, *Our Town*
follows the lives of two families through love, marriage, and death.
Narrated by a stage manager (in our case by 3 stage managers!), the play is
performed with minimal props and sets. *Our Town* has three acts: “Daily
Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” The play reminds us of
our shared humanity and to be present in the moments of our lives. The
character Emily asks in the play,  “Do any human beings ever realize life
while they live it - every, every minute?”

This performance of *Our Town* will be presented in the Hartman Theatre
inside the John Myers Building and will also feature cameos by members of
the Plattsburgh State Gospel Choir and Fuerza, the Black and Latinx Student
Union. The show runs on the following dates and times:



Thursday, November 11 at 7:30pm

Friday, November 12 at 7:30pm

Saturday, November 13 at 2pm and 7:30pm



Due to health restrictions, seats for all performances are limited. Tickets
will be General Admission $8, and SUNY Students $3.


Masks are required at all times when inside on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus.
No drink or food is permitted within the theatre at this time. Don’t miss
out on a great chance to see an American theatre classic for our time. We
hope to welcome you to *Our Town*!
