The Milford Arts Council’s Eastbound Theatre is kicking its 2021-2022 season with the show Our Town, which will be performed on Oct. 2 and 3 at Eisenhower Park in Milford.
Our Town is a play within a play written by Thornton Wilder in 1938. It tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover’s Corners between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens. It follows the romance of two young people from their first kiss until their last moments and everything in between. The stage manager directly addresses the audience, brings in guest lecturers and fields questions while the story unfolds with his narration.
Featuring local actors from all walks of life, Our Town will be the first Eastbound production at the MAC in the Park space at Eisenhower Park.
“We’ve had a great summer at Eisenhower Park and what a way to end our outdoor events before we move back to our home at the MAC,” said Meg Carriero, marketing specialist for the MAC. “Our Town is a classic, and it’s great for families. So with the park setting allowing families to spread out and have their own space and be able to picnic and enjoy some really talented actors in this live theatre production with their community, well I can’t think of anything better.”
Both performances will take place at 4 p.m. Seating circles for four and single tickets are on sale now. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.milfordarts.org.
