our town
The play Our Town is the story of a small town in New Hampshire called Grover's Corners. This town is just like any other with living, dying, a simple family life, and falling in love. The main theme of this play, though, is that life is not appreciated by most, and we should all learn to love every moment, even the little things. This is shown by many stage manager monologues, the way Emily reacts to going back to her birthday, and Mr. Webb shows that some people do appreciate little things in his response to the Lady in the box.

One woman asks if there is much culture in Grover's Corners, and his response was: No ma'am, there isn't much culture; but maybe this is the place to tell you that we've got pleasures of a kind here: we like the sun comin' up over the mountain in the morning, and we all notice a good deal about the birds.
