Last, Best Small Town

Guerra captures the ethos of Our Town in an entirely new piece that straddles a similar universal divide, challenging the perspective that Our Town is a blank canvas of universality free from identity. The story of two neighboring families--one Latinx and one white--who live in the small southern California town of Fillmore. As the first decade of the 21st century unfolds, the children of these families come of age, fall in love, suffer loss, and hunt for their place in a world that can no longer promise them a better life than their parents.
