Commonwealth Classic Theatre Company (CCTC) is bringing Thornton Wilder’s American classic Our Town to numerous regional outdoor parks throughout the month of July.
CCTC is now in its eighth summer of producing free theater under the stars in the Greater Philadelphia area.
With its current production of Our Town, CCTC celebrates the moments of everyday life. And because it’s being performed in the open air, it ties in perfectly with what Thornton Wilder himself said his play explores: “the life of a village set against the life of the stars.”
By bringing professional theater literally to the backyards of communities in and around the five county region, this program merges artistic excellence with financial and geographic accessibility, while filling a unique and necessary niche in the Delaware Valley.

Doris & Phil – Here’s the skinny on “Our Town”. McMichael Park is July 25. They also will use places near your daughter’s location, so maybe their family could enjoy it too. Helen
