Performance: Our Town
Ordinary life has great joys that very few people fully appreciate. There are also the transcendent moments surrounding love and death that come to all.

Through its themes lies the understanding that we are all connected no matter when we have lived and that we know in our hearts that something is eternal and it isn't the objects we own.
