Recently, the cast and creative team of Our Town—including Katie Holmes, Jim Parsons, Zoey Deutch, Ephraim Sykes, director Kenny Leon, scenic designer Beowulf Boritt, and more–took a field trip to Peterborough, New Hampshire, the town where Wilder wrote Our Town while in residence at MacDowell, and one which has some clear similarities to his fictional Grover’s Corners. The starry revival of the classic is set to begin performances September 17.
