Friday, June 20th, 2008 at 8:00pm Arden Theatre Presents: Our Town Winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Our Town has become a much beloved classic and is, perhaps, the most frequently produced play by an American playwright. Interweaving past and present, Wilder's stark and simple masterpiece chronicles the daily life of close knit families and reveals the universal truths that connect us all. Act I (Daily Life) will be played at the Arden's Haas Stage. At intermission, the audience will walk through the churchyard to Christ Church where we will stage the wedding of Act II (Marriage and Love). To further involve our Philadelphia community, the theatre will bring together different musical groups – one night a boys choir, the next a gospel choir, the next perhaps a string quartet? Each night they will have special community guests as part of the production.
