Our Town by Thornton Wilder is coming to 4th Wall Theatre Co
Performances to begin November 21, 2025
By Gabe Velazquez
4th Wall Theatre Company continues their 15th Season with one of the most beloved plays in American theatre, Our Town, written by Thornton Wilder and directed by Artistic Director Jennifer Dean. The show officially opens Friday, November 21 and will play at Studio 101 in Spring Street Studios. Single and group tickets are now available through the Box Office or online at 4thwalltheatreco.com. An open-captioned performance as well as “pay-what-you-will” performances are also available on select dates. Artistic Director Jennifer Dean says about the play, “OUR TOWN has often been called one of the greatest American plays ever written, and I think that’s because so many people carry an emotional attachment to it. Its themes—love, life, death, and the human experience—are universal and accessible. But more than that, the play reminds us to pause, to notice what is fleeting, and to truly see the people we love before they are gone. Especially now, we need that reminder: to cherish what is good and valuable in our lives, and to recognize the pure and the lovely—to see the beauty.”
Winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this moving tale follows the small town of Grover’s Corners through daily life, love, and loss. With minimal props and a stage manager as narrator, it tells the story of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children grow up, marry, and face mortality.
The play premiered at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey on January 22, 1938. Since then, it has become one of the most produced plays in American theatre with multiple Broadway revivals and numerous accolades including a Pulitzer Prize, Drama Desk Awards, and Tony Awards having been nominated for Best Revival of A Play just this year.
Broadway veteran and 4th Wall’s Founding Resident Artist Philip Lehl is set to don the role of Stage Manager. He will be joined by a stellar ensemble of Houston talent including Skyler Sinclair as Emily (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Sense and Sensibility), Christy Watkins (Swing State, Sense & Sensibility), Kregg Dailey (Small Mouth Sounds, Reckless), Faith Fossett (Swing State, The Thanksgiving Play), Philip Hays (Bedlam’s Hamlet), Christian Tannous (Sanctuary City, The Sound Inside), Patricia Duran (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike), and Ellis Holden (Sense & Sensibility). Making their 4th Wall debuts, they are joined by Joshua Percy and Elijah Eliakim Hernandez as George.
The creative team includes Kirk Domer (Scenic Design), Yezminne Zepeda (Sound Design), Rosa Cano (Lighting Design), Donna Schmidt (Costume Design), John Moore (Technical Director), Christian Tannous (Assistant Director), and Kalin Menzel (Production Stage Manager).
