Our Town — A visit from NYC Broadway

JENNY ANDERSON

Peterborough Diner hosted the Cast & Creative team for “Our Town” during their field trip from New York City Broadway!

“Recently, the cast and creative team of the play—including T&C September cover star Katie Holmes, Jim Parsons, Zoey Deutch, Ephraim Sykes, director Kenny Leon, scenic designer Beowulf Boritt, and more–took a field trip to Peterborough, New Hampshire, the town where Wilder wrote Our Town while in residence at MacDowell, and one which has some clear similarities to his fictional Grover’s Corners.” - Town&Country

We are grateful for the opportunity to open our doors and welcome such a talented group of individuals to the diner and our wonderful town.

“Once they arrived in town, the group grabbed a bite at the popular Peterborough Diner, later posing with the staff outside.

Celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, the historic business operates out of an original Worcester train-style lunch car, and has since 1949. It's known for serving breakfast and lunch, seven days a week.

The Peterborough Diner is beloved by locals and tourists alike. It's become a destination over the years as the Worcester Lunch Car Company only produced roughly 1,000 lunch cars until the mid-1950s. Each were given their own unique number and color combo, making it a journey for tourists to track down and photograph all the diners that still operate today.

As legend has it, the Peterborough Dinner is Worcester Lunch Car No. 827 and the first the company ever made with a green-and-cream color scheme.” - People
