MOORHEAD, M.N. – Concordia College Theatre presents “Our Town.” Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” “Our Town” will be running April 16-19 at the Frances Frazier Comstock Theatre.

Originally premiering in 1938, “Our Town” follows the citizens of Grover’s Corners through “Daily Life”, “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” Audiences follow the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die.

Jessica Chipman, playwright and Visiting Assistant Professor in Theatre, is the director of “Our Town.” Chipman’s 2021 play, “Waves Waves Waves,” was selected as a semi-finalist for the Austin Film Festival Playwrighting Award. Previously, Chipman was a high school teacher and theatre director in Alexandria, Minnesota. In 2021, Chipman was recognized as the Minnesota Theatre Educator of the Year by the Minnesota Educational Theatre Association (META).

“Our Town” will be performed in the Frances Frazier Comstock Theatre on April 16-18 at 8:00 p.m. and April 19 at 2:00 p.m. Doors open 20 minutes before each performance; The box office will open one hour before each performance; tickets are available online at www.ticketsource.us/Concordia-College-Theatre or at the door. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and free for Concordia faculty and staff, alumni, high school prospective students, and Fargo-Moorhead Tri-College students.
