In this second part of our two-part series on Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, Gracious and Jared discuss more about the significant themes in the show, and summarize the second and third acts: “Love & Marriage” and “Death & Eternity”. We delve into some history and ask…what did Thornton Wilder think about theater during this time and how was he going to change it? Was Our Town successful in fulfilling its purpose?REFERENCES:“Our Town” by Thornton Wilder (Foreward by Donald Margulies)Published by Harper Perennial: Modern ClassicsCopyright © 1938, 1965 by the Wilder Family LLC.
