Answer 1

Answer:

The guide and narrator for the play "Our Town" is the stage manager.

Explanation:

"Our Town" is a play by Thornton Wilder in which the story of Emily and George - children of two of the main families in the fictional town of Grover's Corners - is told. The story begins in 1901 and covers a part of Emily and George's childhood, moving on to their wedding day and, finally, to Emily's death at childbirth. The lesson learned by Emily is that the living have very little understanding of life and death, and are incapable of enjoying the moment they're living.

The story is narrated by the Stage Manager, who constantly feeds pieces of information about the town to the audience. At some point - Act II of the play - he provides the audience with a flashback to show the moment when George and Emily first acknowledged their love for each other. The Stage Manager even serves as minister for their wedding.
