Preview – Our House: an Evening in Three Acts
When Battleground Productions opens its new play on Thursday, September 5, it will be in a space that is unusual, even for a city with a wild variety of performance venues. Our House, written by award-winning playwright, filmmaker, theatre critic, and multi-tasking man of stage and page John Longenbaugh, is about the various and variously-related residents of a small house in southeast Olympia from 1934 until … just now. It was inspired, we are told, by Thornton Wilder’s treasured masterwork, Our Town. Wilder described his play as “an attempt to find a value above all price for the smallest events in our life, against the largest dimensions of time and place.” According to the press release, Our House “explores one tiny piece of this world in time and space … investigating history, love, death, and really good cocktails.” More about those cocktails later.
