Miami Hamilton Theatre invites you to Our Town

October 24, 2005

Thorton Wilder’s famed Our Town comes to life through performances by members of the Miami University Hamilton Theatre Department and Dramatists Play Service, Inc. November 3, 4, and 5.

All shows begin at 7:30pm in Parrish Auditorium on the campus of Miami Hamilton. Tickets are $8 for general admission and $6 for senior citizens, students with ID and children 12 and under.

Directed by Rebecca Eaton, assistant professor of Fine Arts at Miami Hamilton, the play features university students and members of the community as the cast of this American classic. Our Town tells the tale of ordinary people in an ordinary town. Wilder once wrote in a letter about Our Town to Gertrude Stein, “It’s a little play, with all the big subjects in it.”
