Our Town by Thornton Wilder comes alive at the Weston Playhouse through July 7. With Christopher Lloyd as the Stage Manager, the play is fresh and as absorbing as it was when it was first written 80 years ago. Weston Playhouse believes in celebrating the classics. When it does, audiences see the play as a new set of theatre artists offer their version of a play that may or may not be familiar.
Bob and I had the good fortune to talk with five actors before a performance of the play. As you listen to Raphael Peacock who plays Dr. Gibbs, Christine Toy Johnson who is Mrs Webb, Julie Benko who is Emily, Vichet Chum who is George, and Michael Hicks who is Simon Stimson, you will get an idea of what makes this play continue to be powerful.
