SU Theatre Presents ‘Our Town’ October 21-24

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Bobbi Biron Theatre Program inaugurates its 2021-22 season with a production of Thornton Wilder’s critically acclaimed Our Town Thursday-Sunday, October 21-24.

Directed by Matt Saltzberg, curtain is 7:30 p.m., 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Described by award-winning playwright Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” Our Town presents the small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a Stage Manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die.

The cast includes Jake Nail as the Stage Manager, Megan Bradley as Emily and Samson Rivers as George. Additional cast members are Meghan Baker, Alyssa Chiarelli, Madeleine Davis, Daelyn Funk, Caleb Graham, Jayce Jenkins, Camille Jones, Destin Mabbyalas, Jacob Rudland, Sarah Sheppard, Zoey Stewart and Spencer Tilghman.

Costume design is by Leslie Yarmo. Scenic and lighting design is by John Raley. Technical direction is by Michael Desper and music direction is by Mary-Tyler Upshaw. Andrea Sicoli stage manages, with Molly Witkin as assistant stage manager.
