The Antrobus family has seen it all: war, plague, the Ice Age, floods and even more war. This three-act classic written by the same author who revolutionized American theater with Our Town shows the resiliency of the human race as it faces disasters—both natural and man-made—over and over again.

The play was interesting - not exactly what we were expecting, story-wise - a little hard to keep the time-line straight. We were not familiar with the story, which probably accounts for this. The cast did a credible job.

A fun but meaningful romp through the history of man. This play shows a whole different side to Wilder and though written in 1942 is amazingly contemporary.

More Details About This Event:

“Ladies and gentlemen, don’t take this play serious. The world’s not coming to an end--you know it’s not. People exaggerate. Most people really have enough to eat and a roof over their heads. Nobody actually starves--you can always eat grass or something. That ice business...why, it was a long, long time ago” --Skin of Our Teeth, Act 1

Rorschach Theatre brings to life Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy about the end of the world. The Skin of Our Teeth presents the extraordinary Antrobus family--along with a mammoth and a dinosaur--as they journey on a hilarious romp through history and the human experience.

By Thornton Wilder
Directed by Rahaleh Nassri
