    The Stage Manager of Our Town is a unique figure in American Drama. He has no name, is not directly involved in the action, but has the most lines and delivers very important speeches. Some critics have commented that he is like the omniscient narrator encountered in fiction, seeing all and commenting.

    In addition to his duties as the "chorus," the Stage Manager also plays prim Mrs. Forest, old-fashioned and conservative Mr. Morgan, and the solemn minister.
