    CRR #8 Observations: In the reading Our Town by Thornton Wilder, the stage manager uses humor to announce the intermission and goes on to say that three years have passed in the beginning of act two. One detail that stood out was that nothing seemed to change everything stayed the same except that Si Crowell is delivering the paper now like his brothers before him. We did not see much of Emily and George in act 1 and now they are getting married in act 2 this gives me a sense of how much time has passed.
