Parson's Nose Readers' Theater: Our Town

May 14, 2016, 7­-10 pm

A Parson’s Nose Readers’ Theater Presentation of “Our Town” by Thornton Wilder was a reading of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic by Pasadena actors and the Parson’s Nose company. 

The reading took a look at the American classic through the prism of a most American city, Pasadena California. Parson’s Nose Readers are all Webbs, and Gibbs, and Emilys, and Georges. Local Pasadena actors joined with the Parson’s Nose professionals to present this portrait of American values. 

“Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you.”
