The cast of Our Town. (Photo credit: Carol Rosegg)Helen Hunt Joins the Cast as the Stage Manager
Note: David Cromer's production is the best I've ever seen of this play. His direction is phenomenal. Anyone who has ever seen or been in a production of Our Town should see the Barrow Street production. Truly, it's the one by which all others will be measured.

Helen Hunt joins the cast of David Cromer’s acclaimed production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, for four weeks only (Tuesday, July 6 to Sunday, Aug.1), at the Barrow Street Theatre, succeeding Michael McKean, who gave his final performance on Sunday evening, July 4. Ms. Hunt becomes the sixth actor to assume the iconic role in this record-breaking production.
Hunt performed the role of ‘Emily’ in the Tony Award-winning Lincoln Center Theatre production of Our Town, in which Spalding Gray was the Stage Manager. (Cromer has dedicated his production of Our Town to the memory Spalding Gray). Hunt’s last Broadway appearances were in Yazmena Reza’s Life (x) 3, and as ‘Viola’ in Lincoln Center Theater’s production of Twelfth Night.
The New York production of Our Town began performances on February 17, 2009, and went on to win the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Production and Outstanding Direction and Obie Award for Outstanding Director.
