Why is "Our Town" a classic?

"Our Town" is a classic for many different reasons. I believe that it is a classic because this play has lived the test of time. Also, it is a very famous playwright that shows every aspect of life. Many people recognize this play and also perform this play. Not only do people perform the play, but a movie was created based on it. Wilder also brought a very strong theme to this story. The theme is "appreciate life before it is over", and this is recognized by many people. This play is also very realistic, besides going back in time.

I also believe that this play is a classic because every person can relate to the story, and many people agree with everything Wilder brings up. He makes people realize that even bad things will be missed, and nothing should go unappreciated.
