Darien High School Theatre 308 invites you to their production of Our Town by Thornton Wilder at 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17. This performance was scheduled after Thursday night’s performance was cancelled, and tickets bought for that performance will be honored at this one. Andrew Rejan directs the show, and here is what he notes:
“Sometimes regarded as the quintessential high school play, Our Town is often staged as a bland, nostalgic museum piece, obscuring the essence of one of the most experimental, radical, and provocative works in the American theatrical canon,” said Andrew Rejan, director of the show. “While the absence of a traditional set initially may make the play appear simple, Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece — still shocking 80 years after it premiered — is layered, complex, disturbing, and sometimes beautiful,” Rejan said.

Due to the weather and the school district decision to cancel after-school and evening activities, the Thursday evening Theatre 308 performance of Our Town has been rescheduled for this Saturday, Nov.17 at 2 p.m.

Tickets purchased for Thursday will be honored for the 2 p.m. Saturday show. Separately, the play is being performed Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m.

There are a limited number of additional seats available for this performance. They can be purchased on SeatYourself.com/theatre308. As a reminder, please note that late seating is not possible due to the onstage seating arrangement for this production. About Theatre 308’s Show

The show is entirely different from any traditional view of Our Town you may have, and you do not want to miss it. We are proud to present a show that uses truthful actors to portray a story that everyone can find genuinely heartfelt and real.

All after-school and evening activities at Darien Public Schools have been cancelled for Thursday due to weather concerns, according to an email from a school district official. The email, from Darien High School Principal Ellen Dunn, referenced “the school district decision to cancel after-school and evening activities” Thursday night. The school district neither sent an email to news organizations in town nor mentioned the cancellation on its website. It may have sent an email to parents. Here is the text of the email, sent at 11:16 a.m.:

Due to the impending weather and the school district decision to cancel after-school and evening activities, Thursday evening’s performance of Our Town has been re-scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets purchased for Thursday will be honored for the Saturday 2 p.m. show.
