Jared finishes his rant about the importance of “being specific” and goes on to discuss the hit-play by George Kaufman and Moss Hart (the dream-team). Their American play explores self-fulfillment through the lens of anti-establishment with a twist of romance and a spritz of insanity. You’ll get your fill of ballet practice, snake tanks, candies, and xylophones, with enough firecrackers to light this zany household ablaze for days.

In this second part of our two-part series on Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, Gracious and Jared discuss more about the significant themes in the show, and summarize the second and third acts: “Love & Marriage” and “Death & Eternity”. We delve into some history and ask…what did Thornton Wilder think about theater during this time and how was he going to change it? Was Our Town successful in fulfilling its purpose?

In The Third Act’s first ever episode, Gracious and Jared talk about Stephen Sondheim’s monumental musical, ‘Company’. They delve into the background and creation of the musical, what a “concept” musical is, the songs, the characters, and WHY Sondheim chose to write this important piece of theatre.
