Staunton Books and Tea

07/31/2026

Spend a day in Staunton, Virginia with director K.P. Powell and discover why Thornton Wilder’s OUR TOWN remains one of the most beloved plays ever written.

From the Staunton railroad tracks and Split Banana to community gatherings and small-town traditions, K.P. explores some of the places, people, and everyday moments that inspired his vision for Our Town at the American Shakespeare Center. Along the way, he reflects on what makes the play so moving: the little moments we often overlook, the communities that shape us, and the connections that remind us we’re not alone.
