Our Town,” a three-act play by American playwright Thornton Wilder, is a character study of the citizens of an average early 20th century American town. America’s unfolding history is depicted through their everyday lives.

Orcas Center is presenting “Our Town” with a cast of island youth, ages 10 to 1, in partnership with Orcas Island Public Library’s “Orcas Reads” in the month of January. Grace McCune is making her directorial debut with the production.

Wilder set the play in a 1930s theater and used the stage manager’s narration to create the town of Grover’s Corners for the audience.

Our Town will show on the OffCenter Stage at 7:30 p.m. from Jan. 19 to 21.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $11 for students ($2 off for Orcas Center members) To purchase tickets or to find out more about this production, call Orcas Center at 376-2281.
