The Skin of Our Teeth

By Thornton Wilder

Winner of the 1943 Pulitzer Prize, Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth is a comedy that mixes satire, burlesque and farce. The Marquette production promises to be like nothing you’ve seen before on the Helfaer stage. Follow Wilder’s “first family,” the Antrobus family, from the ice age straight up to present day. This tenacious clan lives through the invention of the wheel, the Great Flood, and all of the frustration and liberation of building a better world, as they struggle to survive by the skin of their teeth.
