"We all know that something is eternal. And it ain't houses and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't even the stars," says the Stage Manager in Our Town. ZACH Theatre is bringing Grover's Corner to Riverside and Lamar for one of its signature reinventions with Thornton Wilder's beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Celebrating heart, passion and community spirit, this Our Town allows audience members to watch in several settings the courtship and marriage of George and Emily amid guest appearances by some of Austin's notable citizens and an extraordinary ensemble of local actors. The production is more than a play: it's an experience as unique as Austin!

Review posted by: Jay Y from Austin, TX, Apr 18, 2010
Zach Scott's production of Thorton Wilder's loved and bittersweet "Our Town" is worth seeing. Jaston Williams does a great job as the narrator, and the cast comes together well to create a sense of... Expand

Review posted by: Ronda Dale Kirk from Spicewood (Austin) TX USA, Apr 18, 2010
Innovative staging brings this Thornton Wilder classic into the 21st Century. It had been at least 30 years since I had seen this play. I remembered a minimalist set, period costuming and a narrator.... Expand
