The Augustana Performing and Visual Arts will present Thornton Wilder’s heartwarming classic "Our Town" at 7:30 p.m. in the Edith Mortenson Center Theatre April 26-28 and May 3-5. The performance on Thursday, May 3, will be interpreted for the deaf and hard-of-hearing.

Described as “the greatest American play ever written,” the story follows the small town of Grover’s Corners through three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage,” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, audiences follow 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.
