 CAMBRIDGE, NY (March 7, 2010)—The award-winning TheatreCompany at Hubbard Hall (TCHH) will perform Our Town, Thornton Wilder’stimeless and much loved drama of American small-town life, March 10 throughApril 3.
Our Town, which indelibly locates the universal in everydayliving, is a character story about an “every town’s” citizens in the earlytwentieth century as depicted through their daily lives (particularly GeorgeGibbs, a doctor's son, and Emily Webb, the daughter of the town's newspapereditor and George's future wife). Wilder sets the play in a 1930s’ theater and uses the actions of the StageManager to create the town of Grover'sCorners for the audience. 
TCHH veterans Randolyn Zinn and Allen McCullough will directa cast that includes Alexandra Jennings as Emily, Jim Staudt as George, RichardHowe as Mr. Webb, Eric Barnum as Doc Gibbs, and McCullough as the Stage Manager.
 “Wilder emphasizes the wonders and beauty of daily life, yethis message is neither sentimental nor romantic, reaching beyond the limitedgrasp of his characters’ comments,” said the directors.  “This is not a goody-goody play.  Rural life is not ‘quaint’… the lives may besmall in Grover’s Corners, but they are part of a vast pattern.”
