Stage Notes: ‘Our Town’ review; ‘Something Rotten’ will make its regional premiere

Review: DTC’s Our Town | Nuestro Pueblo simply delights Not gonna lie — when I first saw Our Town on the season for the Dallas Theater Center, I kind of snored a little bit.
This one of those plays from high school years that you feel should just stay there. Our Town? Really? Well shut my mouth. DTC’s production made a deep impression even before the show opened with its marketing featuring a diverse cast and promises of Spanish-language passages.
This clearly wasn’t the all-white high school version that fostered my first reaction, especially when it was reimagined as Our Town | Nuestro Pueblo.
Craftily directed by Tatiana Pandiani, the patchwork of peoples in Grover’s Corners felt more real than what the classic play evokes.
