Our Town Play Summary
Where the play was was Northern Stage in White River. When I saw the play was October 28, 2015. The title of the play was Our Town. The playwright was Thorton Wilder. The main message of the play was to show how much live people don’t pay any attention to any of their surroundings.
There were three acts the first act was called daily life. It was all about how they lived their lives on a daily basis. In between act one and act two three years go by.

Some of the things that they did were very modern and I don’t know if I liked that about it. They were very interesting to watch because they never lasted too long on a movement or never dwelled on a saying and that made them easier to watch. I think that their movements were natural somewhat because some of the movement were not very natural because some of the movements
