Rubicon Theatre of Ventura presents the centerpiece of the company's 15^th Anniversary "Our Town/Your Theatre" Season, with Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning classic Our Town.

As the Stage Manager in Rubicon's production, Rubicon Artistic Director James O'Neil narrates Wilder's immortal tale of birth, love, marriage, death and daily life.

The large cast of 30, directed by Rubicon Artistic Associate Jenny Sullivan, also includes TOM ASTOR, DILLON FRANCIS, Joseph Fuqua, Robin Gammell, Stephanie McNamara, ELYSE MIRTO, Remi Sandri and many others. Our Town begins previews onMarch 6, with the official opening on Saturday, March 9 (and a gala party following with the cast and local dignitaries in the Ventura City Hall atrium).
