<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;">The Wooster High School Drama Club will present its fall production, "Our Town," on November 14 and 15 at 7:30pm and November 16 at 2:00pm in the PAC.

<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;">"Our Town," written by Thornton Wilder, is set in a fictional New Hampshire town that can easily be seen as any town, even Wooster! It follows the lives of two families and their dealings in life, love, and death for more than a decade. The show premiered in 1938 at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey, and won the Pulitzer Prize later that year. Over the decades, the play has become a classic in American drama.</font></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;">When the play was first written and performed, America was experiencing the aftershocks of the Great Depression and living under the impending shadow of World War II. Although uncertain times and fear characterized the time period, Wilder focused the play on the facets of the human experience which testify to the strength and endurance of the human spirit. The messages of living life to the fullest are as valid today as when the play was written.</font></div>
<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;">This play is a great match for WHS this year. As it is Wooster's bicentennial year, we are reaching back and exploring our roots. Thornton Wilder came to Wooster in 1950 to perform the role of the "Stage Manager" at the College of Wooster. This was also the first play performed at the "New High School" in 1994. As we work to rebuild and strengthen the drama club, it is a great year to revisit this play and include the community. "Our Town" uses minimal and suggestive scenery, and will give the students the chance to work creatively with theatrical lighting and sound techniques. </font></div>
