This timeless drama of life in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, has become an American classic. Thornton Wilder’s most frequently performed play, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town reaffirms what it means to live life to its fullest.
This new immersive staging of Our Town will put you in the middle of the Grover’s Corners Community Center, complete with three-course pot luck dinner — with salad, entree, dessert and beverage. Taking a cue from Wilder’s metatheatricality of eliminating the fourth wall, Majestic Rep’s black box theater will be transformed into an immersive town hall setting, complete with civic artifacts. The audience and actors will sit family style at tables while enjoying a three-course “potluck” dinner. As the play unfolds, the actors step into the play.
The casting also reflects Las Vegas in 2019. Traditionally performed with an all-white cast, Majestic’s Our Town reaffirms its commitment to diversity with a cast comprised primarily of people of color.
