Our Town: A Bilingual Reading of a Beloved Theatre Classic
Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
featuring translated passages by Nilo
Cruz and Jeff Augustin
Saturday, October 16, @ 8PM
Described by Edward Albee as "the
greatest American play ever written," Our Town follows
the Webb and Gibbs families as their children go through life
together. This version is multiracial and bilingual, with characters
speaking in English and Spanish. Reflecting the diverse communities
we all live in, the play retains its soulful reflections on the
beauty and transience of life on earth.

“You have never seen an Our Town quite
like [this] exquisite, emotionally potent production... The language
differences give the families a special, specific way of
communicating, of underscoring their bonds.” – Miami Herald
