Behind the scenes of “Our Town”
November 9, 2018
The characters of “Our Town” vary from the two central characters of Emily Webb and George Gibbs to their families, local residents — alcoholic choir director Simon Stimson, town Constable Bill Warren, milkman Howie Newsome and his mimed cow Bessie — and characters planted among the audience, whom characters onstage speak to.
Here’s a look behind the curtain at the cast’s preparation for the play.
Dilara Ezer (12), who plays the central character Emily Webb, applies makeup before the fall play. In "Our Town", Emily is portrayed as a schoolgirl growing up, on her wedding day, and after her death during childbirth.
