Our Town at Dundalk Community Theatre

Reviews March 7, 2023 Angelica Peaco

Written by Thornton Wilder and Directed by Jennifer L. Gusso, this production brings this classic piece to life with a clean and straightforward approach.

Directed by Sally Boyett, this theatrical chestnut settles into the turn of the 20th century in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire with a whole mess of Gibbs’ and Webb’s and other small town folk whose stories are important to no one but themselves.
