VENTURA COLLEGE STUDENTS
PRESENT “Our Town” The Ventura College Theatre Arts Department presents the much beloved Our Town by Thornton Wilder. Our Town is an attempt to find a value above all price for the smallest events in our daily life. In the last act, the author places upon the stage a character who – like a member of the audience – partakes of the “smallest events of our daily life” and is also a spectator of them. She learns that each life – though it appears to be a repetition among millions – can be felt to be inestimably precious. Though the realization if it is present to us seldom, briefly, and incommunicably. At that moment there are no walls, no chairs, no tables: all is inward. Our true life is the imagination and in the memory.
Our Town will be presented in the Ventura College Main Theatre on Friday and Saturday evenings, November 10, 11, 17 and 18, at 8:00 p.m., and Sunday, November 12 and 19 at 3:00 p.m. The final dress rehearsal, Thursday evening, November 9 at 8:00 p.m., is free and open to the public. Tickets are $7.00 general admission and $5.00 for students, staff, and seniors, and are available from the box office only at the door. There are no advance ticket sales.
