HDA presents "Our Town"

10/25/2023

Congratulations to the cast and crew of "Our Town" for a successful run of the first Hopkins Drama Association (HDA) production of the year, presented at the Woodbridge Club from October 19–21, 2023. The talented ensemble cast brought Thornton Wilder's classic play to life with their delightful performances. Directed by Hope Hartup, the cast skillfully captured the essence of small-town life in Grover's Corners and the universal themes of love, community, mortality, and the fleeting nature of existence.
