"The Skin of Our Teeth" at Tri-C West opens next Friday!
by Gloor, Fred via NEohioPAL 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

The Skin of Our Teeth By Thornton Wilder Directed by Fred Gloor Meet George and Maggie Antrobus of Excelsior, New Jersey, a suburban, commuter-town couple (married for 5,000 years), who bear more than a casual resemblance to that first husband and wife, Adam and Eve: the two Antrobus children, Gladys (perfect in every way, of course) and Henry (who likes to throw rocks and was formerly known as Cain); and their garrulous maid, Sabina (the eternal seductress), who takes it upon herself to break out of character and interrupt the course of the drama at every opportunity ("I don't understand a word of this play!") Whether he is inventing the alphabet or merely saving the world from apocalypse, George and his redoubtable family somehow manage to survive--by the skin of their teeth. Completed by the author less than a month after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, The Skin of Our Teeth (1942) broke from established theatrical conventions and walked off with the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Combining farce, burlesque, and satire, and elements of the comic strip, Thornton Wilder depicts an Everyman Family as it narrowly escapes one end-of-the-world disaster after another, from the Ice Age to flood to war. Cast: In order of appearance. Announcer: Gary Scott Sabina: Clare Vavro Mr. Fitzpatrick: Madison Pauley Mrs. Antrobus: Ayla Renee Williams Dinosaur: Carter Ellis Mammoth: Michael Aponte Gladys: Caitlin Hathaway Henry: Michael Johnson Antrobus: James Alexander Rankin Doctor: Jon Heus Homer: Travis Gilkerson Moses: Aziz Ghrabat Miss E.
