Texas State Department of Theatre & Dance to present ‘Our Town’
Texas State Department of Theatre and Dance presents the American classic “Our Town” October 1-6 in the Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre.
Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play explores life in the quaint fictional town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. Hailed as one of the greatest American plays ever written, “Our Town” is rooted in everyday life. The omnipotent Stage Manager guides the audience, immersing them in a story of love, loss, and time.
Directed by Neil Patrick Stewart, “Our Town” features Texas State alumnus and Broadway veteran Eugene Lee in the iconic role of the Stage Manager. Joining Lee on the stage as members of the two central families are Nicholas May (George Gibbs), Illiana Perez (Emily Webb), Kevin Engel (Dr. Gibbs), Ronisha Reneus (Mrs. Gibbs), Drew Dunson (Mr. Webb), Olivia Rodriguez Smith (Mrs. Webb), Ilela Abimobola (Rebecca Gibbs), and Jack Penzola (Wally Web).
Rounding out the inhabitants of Grover’s Corners are Cosi Arthurs, Sammy Arungwa, Nathan Bachtell, Silas Read Boone, Miguel Gaytan, Jakob Jankowski, Oliver Knight, Michelle Ko, Faraz Mobli, and Colby Raasch.
