Grover’s Corners is a nice town, much like yours or mine. The milk and the paper are delivered on time and childhood friends like George Gibbs and Emily Webb grow to love each other. Our Town presents a small town in three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage" and "Death and Eternity." Narrated by a stage manager, audiences experience the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually pass on.
