Our Town

One of my favorite plays. Always thought the message was so simple and need to be reminded of it. Some students were interviewed after attending a staging/dress rehearsal.  The question the show wanted answered was, “would this play resonant with the ‘twitter and instant gratification’ generation”. Asked of this generation: “Is there enough in just (a blue sky), a sunny day, in just an ordinary day, to fill the need for stimulation?” The answer from one of the boys was a marvel of simplicity and truth. “The question is not – is there enough – but are you looking up?”
