2 roles
Wally Webb is a small role with an outsized emotional impact. Cheerful, affectionate, and full of life, Wally embodies the innocence and vitality of Grover’s Corners. Though his stage time is brief, his presence reverberates powerfully in Act 3, where his fate quietly reshapes how we understand loss, memory, and the fragility of everyday moments. This role is ideal for a young actor who can be natural, open, and truthful.
This role is small but mighty. Though one of the youngest characters, Rebecca's lines provide key comic relief and she delivers one of Our Town’s most profound insights in her Act 1 monologue, quietly expanding the play from a local story into a meditation on time, space, and eternity. The actor must balance childhood simplicity with an uncanny sense of wonder—never “precocious,” but sincerely curious.
