Coastal Rep holding auditions for Our Town

Come be a part of OUR TOWN!

Coastal Rep Announces Auditions for OUR TOWN
Written by Thornton Wilder and Directed by Roxane Ashe
Set in Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire, this American classic explores all that matters most in our lives, and manages to do so with truth and grace.  Our Town is a compelling look at the ordinary lives of the Gibbs and Webb families that reminds us of the beauty of small moments, the poignancy of everyday life, and the urgency of now.  In a world filled with crisis and terror, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play gives us an opportunity to focus on community, on goodness, on family, and on love.
