Last weekend, Virginia Stage Company opened its new, immersive production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town at the Wells Theatre. Our Town follows ordinary lives in a fictional town called Grover’s Corners in the early 20th century. The play within a play is a celebration of joys, pains, promises, and the human experience; it’s beloved as a standard of theater in American high schools, begging the question, “What will Virginia Stage do differently?”
