The Skin of Our Teeth

Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning play, The Skin of Our Teeth, is about the endurance of the human spirit, fierce familial love and hard earned redemption.  George and Maggie Antrobus (married only 5,000 years) along with their children Henry and Gladys (perfect in every way), and Sabina (their conniving vamp of a maid) embark on a strange journey. After narrowly escaping a fast moving wall of ice the Antrobuses touch down in Atlantic City where George the renowned inventor of the wheel becomes president and is suddenly embroiled in scandal! Through scandal, natural disaster, and war the Autobuses find their way home where they confront a family battle hundreds of years in the making. Despite these seemingly insurmountable odds this eternal family manages to overcome it all by the skin of their teeth!

The Senior Project is the capstone course for students majoring and minoring in theatre. It is an intensive, integrated, collaborative process consisting of two parts. In the fall semester, senior theatre students meet in a seminar to study and analyze a play and develop a production concept. In the spring semester, seniors produce that play for the mainstage. Each student performs in the show and fills a production role. This year senior project students will design the set, lights, media and sound.
