While I was writing some lines, this piece of music barged into my imagination and mixed it with my writings...

great waltz... composed by antonio Lauro no 2 valse Venezuela
For me, Hal Holbrooke is the quintessential narrator for Our Town. Emily is perfect, too. The entire cast and everyone involved created a masterpiece in this production of Thornton Wilder's brilliant play. Thank you for this magical experience. Emily's closing speech helped me earn my last year of college tuition. This was a gift to me in many ways.
As a small child Our Town mesmerized me.
This was broadcast on PBS when I was 12 and I was so deeply struck by it -- the oddness of the empty stage and pantomimed props, the mysterious heartache of Emily when she's falling in love with George and, of course, the devastating scene when she tries to go back and can't. Watching it now, at age 57, I feel like I am a ghost of the future watching that scene with my 12 year old self. I find this play as bleak as Beckett and profound as the Gospel. We won't live forever, but it might.

Wow I Just Watched this,Such a sad Story in a Way,Great Performances by the entire Cast.I’m an admirer of Glynnis O,Conner ,She’s Such a Cutie with her Former Boyfriend Robby Benson.I heard her say in interviews it was like real life and acting at the same time
This is the best production of this story.
Today is the first rehearsal of my high school’s production of Our Town! I’m playing Bill Warren ( he was the Constable ) I am so excited!
Thank you for posting this have not seen this since it aired on TV perfect
thanks for uploading! was just cast as emily in my college's production and have been looking for a performance to watch to get the feel of the character. what a great actress!
Unusual and interesting way to present the play.😉🦉. Actors not currently needed sit on chairs.... How were the sound effects done ? "Live", offstage, with a pile of prop's (!) e.g., a bowl of pancake mixture and spoon , making "slop-slop-slop" sounds ? 😊.. Or a recording that the actors mimicked ? 🤔. Or, dubbed on, afterwards ? 🤔 Liked the 12 th Birthday scene, where "Emily "(?) was sometimes visible to "Mama", but mostly not .😊🤔.. Have seen the 1938 (?) film also. 🇬🇧😉🦉🎭📽️🌹🏜️🦉😊🇬🇧
Glynnis O’Conner Beautiful Talented Wow!
still powerful...
It's So Awesome 👍❤

So depressing . It's a wonder he got it produced . It should have been titled , 'DUST IN THE WIND'
Thank you so much. The memories....
I saw this when I was 11. I loved it. It reminded me of hearing my grandma and her neighbor talking about "the good ole days."
What an amazing cast. How lucky we were to have Barbara Belle Geddes & Sada Thompson bring they’re amazing talents to television.
What a joy to rediscover this! Thank you.
1:47:57 ~ 1:52:30
All of your comments are true. This is the definitive version of the play. The 1940 film is wonderful as well but this version is so profound, it should almost be required to see! It had such a profound effect on me that I recommended we do this for our Fall production in high school. The director agreed. I played Professor Willard!
One of my favorite plays. Happy I got to see a performance with my father.
I'm sitting here in tears, and I'm nowhere near the end. The scene where Dr. Gibbs takes George to task for his treatment of his mother sneaked up on me. The understated dignity of Ned Beatty, and the way Robby Benson seems ashamed, and guilty to the point of tears is just beautiful. And Dr. Gibbs raises his allowance to let him know that it's ok, that George is ok, because Gibbs knew his son would take it hard. A brilliant scene, very movingly played.
Ha! What a pleasant surprise when John Houseman showed up!
Ironically, given its reputation, a pretty progressive play with atheistic, and humanistic undertones. I love it so much. For me, it says EVERYTHING about life. Everything important anyway. Just a masterpiece.
I had forgotten how wonderful this production was. Hal Holbrook, Ned Beatty, and the luminous Sada Thompson lead the totally stellar cast.
Wow what an impressive production, really touching. I completely understand why Wilder wanted the scenery to be minimal, it's like radio in a way, theater of the mind. I feel so privileged to have these special experiences just a click away.
I saw this when it first appeared live on t.v. IT reminds me so much of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania where I lived and went to school in the 1960's . It was such a beautiful town, so much like the one in this play. I dont think it is very nice any more.
pure fire
i’m here after reading “wonder” by R.J. Palacio :(
45 years have passed. And there is still meaning to this play.
our town very good do not know if new Zealand ever screened this production or even heard of it. in 1977 i would have been 15
Damn. "Our Town" has choked me up every time I've read or watched it. Watched the original movie version with my grandfather when he was the age I am now. Time keeps moving along.
What a beautiful immersive production. Just a classic American play.
I was 10 years old in 77 when this aired on PBS that year. Even though I was just a kid, I loved it. Sada Thompson and Barbara Belle Geddes were two of my favorite tv ‘’mom like’’ actresses back then. Along with Hal Holbrook, John Houseman, Ned Beatty and Robby Benson - you can’t go wrong! I’m 54 now and watching it again.
100 percent agree
Does anyone know the time stamps of each act?
Whoever thought it was a good idea to assign this play for college classes and made it the norm can respectfully go fuck themselves with a fucking ice pick. Thank you.
Hi Owen I have three degrees in Humanities Studies and Philosophy. Your school, my degrees and everything else do not matter. The play is assigned to be enjoyed since there are no right answers or correct criticism for Exams or Home Assignments. Enjoy it because no one fails the class, I am sure you can enjoy it. You will remember it for the rest of your life if you enjoy it and carefully read it or watch it.
@@rastiali2311 Hello Rasti, Thanks for the reply, but honestly don't you think that for an introduction to American drama they would want to start off with something that didn't push the norm that was standard plot lines for a standard play? I understand the idea of creativity with the timeline and how it was not linear like other plays. But at the same time there was nothing to be engaged with due to the fact that it felt like there was no real conflict. On top of that it seemed that there was little to no character development and that instead of characters developing over the years it seemed that they stayed the same.
@@owenmatthews4414 Well, you did not say they introduce American Drama in the first comment but if that's the case, they will have a hard time explaining the round characters, Pantomime techniques and many other details.By and Large, this is not a suitable play for Introductory courses. I've never seen this in Introductory courses. It is more Cosmopolitan than American play. It is suitable to introduce theatre since this play explains why Shakespeare in As You Like it said that World is like a Play and Men are characters in it". But It to familiarize American Drama with this play sounds like shoe horning.
@@rastiali2311 I agree with the second paragraph 100%, its interesting how the timeline works as it is untraditional, maybe thats the scope that this class is going for. We shall see in this coming semester. Appreciate the response.
Don’t mind me in just marking Rebeccas parts so I can watch this for when I play her 9:00 10:35 41:00 44:34
41:45 53:30 1:20:20
I was 21 when this came out. Haven't seen since then. Tremendous!! Goose bumps. Just an ordinary day in Grovers Corner......
Who else has to do this for school 🥲
Good lord this is phenomenal
