Our Town
Jane is playing the character of "The Stage Manager" in Thornton Wilder's classic play Our Town at Fuse Theatre Ensemble December 02-24, 2022!
"Jane Comer is noteworthy as the meta-theatrical Stage Manager. She guides us through the ups and downs of life in small-town America with the play’s trademark “New England dryness,” though her inner Portlander often shines through. Even in the play’s gothic ending, Comer projects a warmth that is never fully diminished." -Max Tapogna, Oregon Arts Watch
