Our Town

Our Town

Lyric Stage Boston

The day starts and ends pretty much the same way in Grover's Corner. Beyond the humdrum of daily life, glimmers of joy, flickers of melancholy, and secret desires are hidden away in the mundane. It's in the eyes of young lovers, the silence of a lonely townie's room, and the hearts of the wild and restless. Stars shine over this sleepy New England town, but are dimmed when compared with the wonderment tucked away within the seemingly ordinary moments of this place so many call "home." Even in the smallest of moments, beauty is there. The secret is to stop and take notice.
