Pay-What-You-Can Performance
Since we last reported on Our Town which is coming to the Arden Theatre Company on May 22nd, 2008, we have learned that the Arden has set up a Pay-What-You-Can performance for May 21st, 2008 at 8:00 p.m.
Here’s the facts:
Arden Theatre Company presents an unprecedented event!
OUR TOWN in Old City
by Thornton Wilder
directed by Terrence J. Nolen
sponsored by Comcast
What: Pay-What-You-Can performance
When: Wednesday, May 21 at 8pm
Beneficiary: Philadelphia Cares
Where: Arden Theatre Company - 40 N. 2nd Street, Old City Philadelphia
The finale of our 20th Anniversary season is an unprecedented event that
celebrates community. Winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Our
Town has become a much beloved classic and is, perhaps, the most
frequently produced play by an American playwright. Interweaving past
and present, Wilder’s stark and simple masterpiece chronicles the daily
life of close knit families and reveals the universal truth that connect
us all.
Act I (Daily Life) will be played at the Arden’s Haas Stage. At
intermission, the audience will walk through the churchyard to Christ
Church where we will stage the wedding of Act II (Marriage and Love).
To further involve our Philadelphia community, we will bring together
different musical groups - one night a boys choir, the next a gospel
choir, the next perhaps a string quartet? Each night we will have
special community guests as part of the production.
This is an event not to be missed!
