(Sold Out) 7:30 p.m. Our Town
Enjoy a classic piece of American theater amidst the timeless beauty of Green-Wood Cemetery. Our Town tells the story of Emily Webb and George Gibbs of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, a small New England town at the turn of the twentieth century. But the lessons of Grover's Corners stretch far beyond the sleepy town, as the play touches on the beauty of life, the randomness of the universe, and celebrates spirituality and the importance of memorials and memory. Deeply rooted in American and social history, Our Town fits in perfectly with Green-Wood's own history and the hundreds of thousands of personal stories memorialized across its beautiful landscape.
