I saw "Our Town" at a community theater and liked it. It seemed to have a theme of seizing the day, making the most of each day because you never know when it will be your last. Worth seeing, once, at least. I don't think I'd go to see it again, as opposed to a classic like "Oklahoma!" which I will gladly go to over and over. (Of course, the great music in "Oklahoma!" is the major reason for that.)
Agree with the "no props" part - it's probably done very often for that reason - cheaper. The upstairs of the house is portrayed by the actors standing on ladders.
Take heart, Lois - Emily Gibbs (Lana's character) dies in childbirth during the play. The Stage Manager is there throughout.
