(y)Our Town

We all know 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 … everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings.”

-Thornton Wilder, Our Town

Inspired by Thornton Wilder’s stage masterpiece, y(Our) Town is an improvised show every evening that explores the past as prologue and the future as one of endless and eternal possibility.
