| OUR OUR TOWN |

Theatre Gigante
|
|
8 p.m. | UWM Studio Theatre
|
Inspired by Thornton Wilder's classic American play about life, death and theater, Gigante's Our Our Town takes a look at the transience and preciousness of life – in typical Gigante fashion – through text, dialogue and movement. A pastiche of humor and drama, silliness and seriousness, this new work is dedicated to Ed Burgess – Kralj and Anderson's long time friend and collaborator.
