Answer:

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is the following one: The class play will be an American classic: Our Town.

Step-by-step explanation:

A colon means "that's is to say". In this case, the NP after the colon specifies the information in the preceding clause. Our Town is the American classic previously mentioned. Therefore, this is a case of a term-specification semantic relationship.
