“Our Town” by Nightpath Theatre Company: Hope undefeated by the march of time

Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning play Our Town first hit stages in 1938, but the play chronicling the life and times of the citizens of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, begins in 1901. The story ends in 1913, before the two world wars that changed everything; it was also the year my grandmother was born. One hundred years later, Nightpath Theatre Company has been taking their own production of Our Town on the road—to schools, senior facilities, and community centers around the state. The final destination for their tour was a couple of public performances at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis, where I caught the show. -Matthew A. Everett, TC Daily Planet

Matthew A. Everett Reviews Nightpath Theatre’s ‘Measure for Measure’

Quick – what’s the first word that comes into your head when I mention the concept of producing Shakespeare’s comedy-drama “Measure for Measure” onstage as a group of actors pretending to perform a radio play version, all doing multiple roles, complete with sound effects, set in the Old West of Vienna, California?
