About this Event
Loosely inspired by Thorton Wilder’s classic play Our Town, Essex Corners is a humorous and poignant exploration of the past century of American life, seen from the perspective of several generations of one family in a small New England town in a rapidly changing America. Written by award-winning playwright Hoyt Hilsman and directed by PCC Professor Suzanne Hunt-Jenner, this production at PCC is a world premiere.
