    Being a young boy growing up in the state of Massachusetts my early years of pre-kindergarten were very rough because I knew that all the new people I would meet and all of the new friends i would make would just be a memory many years later as my 900 mile move would take them out of my life forcing me to complete my childhood all over again. Joining a new school the next year was even tougher for me because of all the ridicule given to me about not fitting in. In school I was never in the popular

    Through December 5th through the 7th‚ I performed in Thornton Wilder’s play of Our Town. The only sets or props that the actors or actresses used where folding chairs for us to sit in‚ umbrellas to hide Emily (Julie Dumbler)‚ and flats on both sides of the stage to hide the people behind them. The reason for the lack of set is so the audience can use there imagination of what the town of Grover’s Corner‚ New Hampshire looks like. All the rest of the props that the actors had to use were pan mimed

    After reading Thornton Wilder’s book‚ Our Town‚ I believe that it focuses mainly on the changes that we see in human life‚ for example‚ in the play of Our Town‚ we see the milkman always talking to the paperboy. Mostly about the stability of Grover’s Corners‚ each time they do‚ there appears to be almost no changes much in the town‚ as if time had stood still. In this‚ we see Howie and Crowell as the illustration of the consistency of small town life since they appear in all of the acts from act
