An iteration of the classic, Our Town, a  Pulitzer-prize-winning play set in a fictional New Hampshire town in the early 20th century. In this version, we transport it to Fillmore, a real town with about 15,000 residents located in an agricultural region of Ventura County in Southern California, set 100 years later. The play traces the experiences of the fictional Miller and Gonzalez families between 2006 and 2009. As the first decade of the 21st century unfolds, the children of these next door neighbors come of age, fall in love, and suffer loss as they continually hunt for their place in a world that can no longer promise them a better life than their parents.
