University of Akron Theatre Production of The Skin of Our Teeth
by Arts Administration 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

*The Skin of Our Teeth *explores themes of humanity’s resilience in the face of destruction. Akron, OH — The University of Akron (UA) Theatre program continues its season with *The Skin of Our Teeth *by Thornton Wilder. As the first Mainstage Production of the new theatre program, *The Skin of Our Teeth* features a diverse cast of 18 UA students from various majors at the university. Performance dates are October 26-28 & November 2-4 at 7:30PM and October 28 & November 4 at 2:00PM — Sandefur Theatre in Guzzetta Hall, 157 University Ave. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for UA students. For tickets, email administration.arts(a)gmail.com or call the ticket office at (330) 972-7895. For more information, visit uakron.edu/dtaa/performances. Akron theatre alumni are encouraged to attend the production on Alumni Night, October 27, where they and a guest will be admitted for the student price of $5. The November 4 matinee will be part of Fall Drama Day, a high school recruitment event. 2017 marks the 75th anniversary of *The Skin of Our Teeth*. Written in 1942 in the midst of WWII, the play is a three-part allegory about humanity’s resilience centered around the Antrobus family. Wilder’s Pulitzer prize-winning play incorporates elements of satire, burlesque and interactive theater as it careens from Akron OH, to the Ice Age and beyond. James Slowiak, UA Professor of Theatre and director of the production, chose the play because it addresses a wide range of political and social themes, including racism, the refugee crisis, climate change and war. *The Skin of Our Teeth* comments on human survival and ethnocentrism in the face of disaster, natural and man-made. The Theatre Arts Program at The University of Akron equips undergraduate and graduate students with a broad knowledge of theatre arts and fundamental practical skills in order to prepare them to address the emerging issues and challenges of the theatre profession and a diverse and vibrant society. The Theatre Arts Program provides high quality educational and artistic experiences that enhance the cultural lives of all students at The University of Akron, as well as the residents of the greater Akron community and the Northeast Ohio region. -- *Graduate Assistant* School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration The University of Akron Akron, OH 44325 Phone: (330) 972.7895 Website: uakron.edu/dtaa <http://www.uakron.edu/dtaa> Facebook: facebook.com/TheArtsStartHere <http://www.facebook.com/TheArtsStartHere> Instagram: *instagram.com/artsstarthere/ <http://instagram.com/artsstarthere/>* Twitter: twitter.com/ArtsStartHere

In Dreamtime, the Great Rainbow Serpent, Goorialla, creator of this world, awakens, and goes in search of her people. In the wake of her travels, she creates the mountains, valleys, and rivers that we now recognize as Australia. But not only did she give the people the land, she gave them his spirit in the sky--the rainbows, and the shooting stars... This is the Serpent's story--filled with magic, and myth, and the "becoming of all things." Join us in the beautiful re-telling of this powerful creation story, and learn more about the mysterious country that is "the Land Down Under," Australia.
