Students from the Lancaster Bible College (LBC) Music, Worship & Performing Arts Department will present the classic American play "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder. Performances will take place at 7 p.m. on Fridays, Sept. 6 and 13, and at 2 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays, Sept. 7 and 14, in Good Shepherd Chapel on LBC's campus at 901 Eden Road, Lancaster.

"Our Town," written in 1938, is set in the fictional Grover's Corners, N.H., between 1901 and 1913, and it depicts the everyday lives of the town's citizens. The play centers on George Gibbs and Emily Webb, the latter of whom is played by senior musical theater major Elsa Rogers of Columbia, as they navigate love, life, and loss. The show conveys the characters' reflections on life and death, emphasizing the notion that people often overlook the simple joys of living, while also exploring the themes of love, family, and the passage of time. The show is a play within a play featuring the character of a stage manager who takes the audience on an emotional journey. "Our Town" saw both Broadway success and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
