City Paper

Commonwealth Classic Theatre Company takes outdoor free summer theater to a unique level in two ways: by performing in parks throughout the area, and by producing something other than Shakespeare. Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer-winner Our Town is ideal for traveling outdoor shows, since the play openly invites the audience to imagine its settings, and its final act occurs under the stars. Our Town plays in several Philadelphia locations, including LOVE Park on Sunday, July 15; the Morris Arboretum on Thursday, July 19; International House on Sunday, July 22; and East Falls’ McMichael Park on Wednesday, July 25.

Through July 28, free, various locations, 610-202-7878, commonwealthclassictheatre.org.
