The Skin of Our Teeth

Written by Thornton Wilder

Directed by Drew Barr

September 11 - October 4, 2009

Take the poignancy of Our Town, and add the zaniness of “The Flintstones” and you have something like The Skin of Our Teeth. In 1940, Thornton Wilder, foreseeing the U.S. involvement in World War II, decided to write an optimistic comedy about how history repeats itself. He aimed to give hope and humor to the depression-surviving, wartime American audience with a simple message: as sure as hard times come, they go again. Wilder's play runs into a snag when the skeptical leading actress, who just wants to finish the performance and go home for the day, seeks a finish to the story that never ends.
