![]() Our Town performed April 27th-29th, 2018, at the Hudson Guild Theatre in NYC, and received 4 National Youth Arts Awards in 2018 (Outstanding Direction, Ensemble, 2 Lead Performances). Leaning into Wilder’s famous use of theatrical convention and absent fourth wall, this visit to Grover’s Corners is visually styled after a tech rehearsal, where time is precious, somehow both sluggishly dragging and swiftly running out. This performance-centric take on Our Town thrusts the Stage Manager narrator into the (possibly busted) spotlight. 80 years after Wilder’s brilliantly bittersweet portrait of small-town life first opened on Broadway, the people of Grover’s Corners are back on the small stage, and they’re almost ready to get started. Firebird returns to the stage with Our Town, a fresh look at the beloved American classic by Thornton Wilder. ![]()
