A nod to Our Town, this new play shifts Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece into the twenty-first century, to a small town about forty miles south of San Francisco. George, Emily and their friends are determined to live their lives on their own terms and to shed versions of themselves they’ve outgrown, whether that be their high school sweetheart or their gender identity. Life has only spun forward, and the only way for the residents of Corners Grove to keep up is to embrace the unknown and commit to their own truths.
Written and directed by Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin
