Mary Swanson just moved to Middletown, eager to start a family and enjoy the neighborly bonds a small town promises. When she befriends resident John Dodge, she quickly discovers that below Middletown’s flinchingly honest exterior lies something much more complex. Middletown is a wry, human portrait of a town with two lives — one ordinary and visible, the other epic and mysterious.

Any exploration into the meanings or meaning of life is worthwhile.
Life is tough! Acting was excellent.
A very interesting play performed by extremely talented actors. Each actor (no mater what character they were playing at the time) conveyed a genuine realism to the story. I enjoyed the production very much. The outstanding set design should also be applauded.
Stage craft was excellent, acting extremely good.
