About “Our Town”
“Our Town,” Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer and Tony award winning play in three-acts, has been described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written.” Wilder (1897-1975) is considered by many to be one of the most important American playwrights that has ever lived.
