The story peeks into the life of a small American town – Grover’s Corners – between the years of 1901-1913. The main character is the Stage Manager who acts as narrator and conduit between the audience and what is happening on stage. “So many of the themes are still relevant to small town life, and really life anywhere,” McQuade said. He described “Our Town” as “the greatest American play ever written.”“Our Town” is a show open to interpretation. Parrish plays a character in the show but her main role is the show’s stage manager; not the Stage Manager character but the actual stage manager who keeps cast and crew on track and moving.
