It doesn’t get any more American and apple pie than Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” The tried-and-true high school chestnut play, with minimal sets and homespun dialogue, hearkens back to a simpler time, when neighbors talked to each other from their front porches, and the boy next door fell for the girl of his dreams.

With all the sturm und drang on the national scene these days, my prescription for an anti-swine flu remedy is a healthy dose of Americana – and that’s exactly what you’ll get if you head to Sherburne this weekend to see their rendition of “Our Town.” Showtime is at 7 p.m. tonight and Saturday at the Sherburne-Earville high school auditorium. Tickets will be sold at the door.

Director Colleen Law-Tefft has done it again – taken a disparate group of high school students and woven them (with a little help from Mr. Wilder) into a perfect tapestry of a bygone era.
