Our Town at The Merc Playhouse

[janeorme]

We haven't determined the exact length, but is is somewhere between two hours, fifteen minutes to maybe two hours, twenty-five or so. It depends on final pacing and intermission time.
Thanks for asking. We're still in rehearsals, but the actors are focused and wonderful. We are looking forward to Opening Night.

Here's another question:

Has Our Town won any prizes?

Thornton Wilder's play Our Town won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1938, and a 1988 Broadway production received the Tony Award for Best Revival and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival.

The actors in The Merc Playhouse show should all win best actor awards.

We sat next to a woman with a lifelong love of theater. She has directed plays. We agreed that Broadway actors could not improve this performance.
