Jeremiah Johnson in Hardin-Simmons University Production of Our Town

2010 Oct 19

Jeremiah Johnson, of Seabrook, TX, performed in the Hardin-Simmons University Theatre Department's production of Our Town. Johnson was cast in the role of Simon Stimson. The play ran from September 30 through October 10.

Our Town is Thornton Wilder's classic about young love, hard-working families, and the turn-of-the-century American community in which they live. Our Town is considered by many critics and audiences to be one of the finest plays ever written and has entertained and moved audiences for generations.

Our Town was directed by HSU's artistic director and assistant professor of theatre Ronald Dean Nolen.
