What did our critic think of OUR TOWN at Syracuse Stage? The Syracuse Stage production of Our Town celebrates the 125th anniversary of the birth of Thornton Wilder.

Given that these problems plague us today, Our Town is especially meaningful in our time.
As the play delves into its subject of life and death, the hearts of the audience are treated with tender and gentle grace.
