SSCC Theatre proudly presents Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town,” playing Nov. 15-17 in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.

The Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m., while the Sunday matinee begins at 3:30 p.m.

This timeless drama of life in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, N.H., has become an American classic with universal appeal.

Wilder’s most frequently performed play, “Our Town” explores the relationship between two young neighbors—George Gibbs (played by Owen Stanton) and Emily Webb (Madison Hatfield)—whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance then culminates in marriage.

Narrating throughout, the Stage Manager (Benjamin Gullett) shows the audience the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts: growing up, adulthood, and death. First appearing on Broadway in 1938 to wide acclaim and winning the Pulitzer Prize, “Our Town” celebrates its 75th anniversary this year.

The SSCC Theatre production, directed by Rainee Angles, also features the talents of Stormi Bledsoe, Bob Brown, Bryan Kessinger, D.J. Griffith, John Hancock, Chelsea Heifner, Aidan Holmes, Mark Holmes, Emma Horick, Jenna Horick, Bronwyn Jones, B.G. Prater, Matthew Waits, and Terry Washburn.

Hannah Hengler serves as stage manager, Rainee Angles and Abraham Martin as production designers, Benjamin Gullett as sound designer, and Laura Martin as costume designer. Fulfilling crew positions are Brent Angles, Emily Griffith, Melissa Griffith, Tina Kessinger, Jenna Milstead, Seth Potts, Emily Rumschlag, and Heather Washburn.
