About Our Town

The Gibbs and the Webbs are living in the fictitious town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire at the turn of the 20th century. From the characters, to the diction, to the props, and to the set design, Wilder simplifies everything. He uses typical country vernacular and has the 'Stage Manager' speaking directly to the audience to tell the story of these two common families. The story follows these small town characters through three acts: 'Daily Life,' 'Love and Marriage,' and 'Death and Eternity.

Our Season

Theatre at Mount Vernon is truly an immersive experience where students have endless opportunities to act, design, build, stage manage and create electrifying experiences like no where else. From Hitchcock to Shakespeare, original plays inspired by podcasts to popular musicals we all know and love, our students are able to tailor their drama experience to suit their passions & interests. Students begin learning about theatre in Kindergarten Performing Arts Class and continue to hone their skills until elective courses become available in Grades 5-12. Whether they are new to theatre or an experienced veteran, students have no shortage of curricular and extra-curricular opportunities to flourish in theatre arts.
