Our Town (winter studio show) at the Backyard Stage at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre

Apex Theatre Studio will present a performance of Thornton Wilder’s great American stage classic, Our Town, on Tuesday, February 16th at the Backyard Stage of the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Tickets for Our Town will go on sale tomorrow, Friday, January 29 at 10:00am at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre Box Office and Ticketmaster.com. Please note the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall Box Office will remain closed at this time.

Hailed as “probably the finest play ever written by an American”, Our Town casts its gaze on the citizens of Grover’s Corners. As the show’s narrator takes the audience through several decades in the life of this community, the everyday moments which compromise the human experience are portrayed with a rolling mixture of laughter, terror and wonder.

The show features a cast of young artists from the St. Johns county area as well as teaching artists on staff at Apex Theatre Studio.

“This play speaks directly to those things which all of us have in common as human beings,” commented director Ian Mairs, “we feel it is important at this moment of time to explore such a work which promotes universal empathy and understanding.”

This production of Our Town is supported in part by a State of the Arts grant from the St. Johns Cultural Council.
