Aurora Theatre Company presents 'Wilder Times'

Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and playwright, and former Berkeley resident, Thornton Wilder was an accomplished master of the short play form, specifically creating shorter works to be staged in spaces such as Aurora’s, with the audience seated on three sides of the action or in the round. Aurora has put together a program of four of Wilder’s greatest shorter works: Infancy, a comedy about fulfilling basic human needs in which babies act like grown-ups and grown-ups act like babies; Childhood,… Show more in which Wilder renders a child’s-eye view of the grown-up world; The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden, which features the first appearance of Wilder’s narrating Stage Manager character; and The Long Christmas Dinner, perhaps Wilder’s most famous short work.
