Our Suburb
June 14 - 16
Our Suburb is an homage to Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, set in Skokie, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in the late 1970s. The Nazis are threatening to march through this town populated by numerous holocaust survivors. Thornton and Ricky fall in love against a backdrop of McDonalds and Dunkin’ Donuts, post WWII reaction to the march, and the battle for Freedom of Speech.
