STAGE MANAGER:
. . .
A small platform is placed against the back wall on which the STAGE MANAGER will stand later, playing the minister.
The image of a stained-glass window is cast from a lantern slide upon the back wall.
When all is ready the STAGE MANAGER strolls to the center of the stage, down front, and, musingly, addresses the audience.
There are a lot of things to be said about a wedding; there are a lot of thoughts that go on during a wedding.
We can't get them all into one wedding, naturally, and especially not into a wedding at Grover's Corners, where they're awfully plain and short.
. . .
(Thornton Wilder, Our Town, Act II)
What's the meaning of go on there? In this context it's difficult for me to find the correct meaning
