Katie Holmes:

"I'm really excited to be doing this play. I have been wanting to work with Kenny Leon. And this play is a play that I actually didn't read in high school. I ran into Kenny and he was telling me he was going to do this, and I was like, 'Our Town', oh my god, that sounds so exciting. I happened to be reading the Ann Patchett book at the time. I was like, oh wow, this is so funny. And this cast, I mean, is just like, magical. It's thrilling to be a part of."

The Pulitzer Prize winning piece by Wilder features small town locals whose lives are narrated by a stage manager (Parsons). The three-act play follows main characters - Emily Webb (Deutch) and George Gibbs (Ephraim Sykes) -- through stages of early life, marriage, births and deaths. Holmes plays the role of Mrs. Webb.
