Our Town by Thornton Wilder. Bare Stage. No set or props, for the most part.

Emily Webb, George Gibbs Grovers Corners, New Hampshire The Stage Manager. A narrator for the play; also represents a few minor characters. Sometimes he talks about the play as a play, sometimes he talks about things in the future of the characters as if they were real people, sometimes he seems to be in the same time as the characters. The play represents a few ideas: 1. Represents an ordinary town and ordinary American people early in the 20th century 2. Discusses the idea of death and what it would be like 3. Is given the chance, after death, to relive one day of her life (Emilys). Similar to some movies in this way: Its a Wonderful Life A Christmas Carol
