About Our Town: Simsbury

“Our Town: Simsbury” is a large-cast, full-length drama, written by Betsy Maguire. It is similar in structure and style to Thornton Wilder's 1938 classic, “Our Town,” but this new play is set in modern times. Although it is a work of fiction, Betsy conducted dozens of interviews with town residents, and their personal stories shine through. The setting of the play is Simsbury, Connecticut, but the themes of human connection, mortality, and appreciating life to the fullest, are universal.
