Who is the protagonist and antagonist in Our Town?

I
suggest that it is the Stage Manager who is theof "." It is his motivation to describe
the region and to introduce and explain the townspeople that drives the entire play. He does not
have a serious , but he has the difficulties that come with being a stage manager and a
narrator. For example, one of the characters he has recruited is a college professor who is too
long-winded and has to be cut short, while another is the newspaper editor who doesn't show up
on time. The Stage Manager also has difficulties in explaining what places are represented on a
barren stage, and he has some difficulties with his own memory. This is a post-modernist type of
play, although the story itself is extremely conservative and conventional. The audience gets
the impression that the Stage Manager is trying to put a play together and that he does not even
have complete control of the characters.
