  • The Skin of Our Teeth Character List Large Roles (Appear in Each Act
    The Skin of Our Teeth Character List Large roles (appear in each act, substantial line memorization required): Mr. George Antrobus – The father of the all-American family. In the first act he invents the wheel; in the second he is elected president of the human race; in the third act he returns from war seeking ways to rebuild society. Sometimes arrogant and power-hungry, he is capable of learning and wisdom. Suited for adult or upper school student. Sabina Fairweather. The maid of the Antrobus family, she serves as an Everywoman character who is often confused by the wild goings-on of the play and (sometimes selfishly) seeks ways to live an ordinary, individually happy life. Sabina also steps out of character as “Miss Somerset,” the actor supposedly playing the role. Upper school student or adult. Mrs. Maggie Antrobus. A pillar of strength, she is concerned with the well-being of her children above all. Adult. Henry Antrobus. The family’s son. Initially a smaller role as a boy who struggles with school, in the last act he comes into serious conflict with his father, symbolizing the potential darkness within people. Upper school student. Gladys Antrobus. An affectionate young girl in Act I, she grows up yet remains positive. Somewhat smaller role than other family members. Upper school or middle school student. Additional roles (use of actors in more than one act will depend on auditions). Announcer (Act I and II; possibly two different roles). TBD whether announcer is on or offstage. Open casting; requires strong speaking voice. Fitzpatrick (Act II and III) The stage manager of the production.

  • THE POLITICS of THORNTON WILDER's DRAMA by Wesley
    “IMPORTANT THINGS TO GIVE EACH OTHER”: THE POLITICS OF THORNTON WILDER’S DRAMA By Wesley Stewart Longacre B.A., Baylor University, 2004 M.A., Wake Forest University, 2013 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theatre & Dance 2017 This thesis entitled: “Important Things to Give Each Other”: The Politics of Thornton Wilder’s Drama has been approved for the Department of Theatre and Dance Dr. Oliver Gerland Dr. Beth Osnes Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation ABSTRACT Longacre, Wesley (Ph.D., Theatre) “Important Things to Give Each Other”: The Politics of Thornton Wilder’s Drama Thesis directed by Associate Professor Oliver Gerland Thornton Wilder (1897-1975) was one of the most celebrated U.S. authors of the 20th century. As a dramatist, he wrote one of the most frequently produced plays in American dramatic history, Our Town. Given his fame, it is surprising that very little has been written about Wilder’s dramatic works from a political perspective. My dissertation aims to address this oversight by unearthing a family-based social and political ethic in his dramatic works. Through close study of his plays, interviews, letters, influences, and other writings, I have found that he promotes a democratic ethic through his drama. He creates the utopia that he longed to see in our global political climate and imagines what the world would look like if we truly ascribed to democratic ideals.

What kinds of work do our students need to create at this point in their artistic development? Which plays or musicals feed that pedagogical imperative? And how do these works allow, encourage, or (sometimes) confound our ability to understand a bit more about the nature of human becoming? When we leave the theatre, do we feel more closely bound to our neighbors? If we feel alienated by the experience, do we understand why? It is no accident that this note of welcome to our current season includes a litany of questions. Intellectual, emotional, and spiritual query are at the core of a great education. At Illinois Theatre, “we make BECOMING . theatre makers,” but we also ask foundational There is a saying in theatre: “Actors act. questions on our pathways to creation.

  • Thorton Wilder's the Skin of Our Teeth
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 22, 2013 LAUGHING AT OURSELVES SURVIVING THE HUMAN RACE Thornton Wilder’s whimsical but profound play presents the best and worst of us. 2013/2014 Season If you saw a play that addressed climate change, rising oceans, freak storms, economic depressions and the casualties of war… well, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was written recently. But even though Thornton 2 Wilder’s comedic satire The Skin of Our Teeth is over seventy years old, the play’s sharp wit, unconventional The Skin of Our Teeth storytelling, and astute commentary on human nature explain why this profound 1943 Pulitzer Prize- November 7 –23, 2013 winning play still resonates with contemporary audiences. By Thornton Wilder Directed by Linda Hardy Presented at the University of Victoria’s Phoenix Theatre from November 7-23, 2013, The Skin of Our Teeth Movement Coach Jacques Lemay introduces us to the middle-class lives of a New Jersey family. George and Maggie Antrobus live with their Set Designer Jonathan Maxwell two children Henry and Gladys, and their pet…dinosaurs? George is much lauded for his work developing Costumes Designers Chelsea Graham & Shayna Ward the alphabet, multiplication tables, and he just discovered … the wheel? If you’re not sure what’s Lighting Designer Poe Limkul happening, then welcome to Wilder’s wildly revolutionary romp across many millennia, from the ice age to Sound Designer Brian Linds the great flood, through depressions and wars – and back again. Stage Manager Claire Friedrich “The Americans had just come through the Depression ‘by the skin of their teeth’ and were in the early throes of A hilarious and raucous tour through the ages – WWII when Wilder wrote this play,” says director Linda Hardy.

    THE COMMON-MAN THEME IN THE PLAYS OF MILLER AND WILDER APPROVED: Major Professor I A Minor Pro ssor Con u ting Professor 1ran of Graduate Studies in English Dean f the Graduate School 37 i*1 THE COMMON-MAN THEME IN THE PLAYS OF MILLER AND WILDER THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Robert M. Hastings B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1977 A Hastings, Robert M., The Common-Man Theme in the Plays of Miller and Wilder. Master of Arts (English), May, 1977, 93 pp., bibliography, 40 titles. This study emphasizes the private and public struggles of the common man as portrayed in two representative plays by Arthur Miller, Death of' a Salesman and The Price, and two by Thornton Wilder, Our Town and The Skin of' Our Teeth. These plays demonstrate man's struggle because of failures in responsibility toward self and family and because of his inability to fully appreciate life. Miller concentrates on the pathetic part of man's nature, caused by a breakdown in human communication. Wilder, however, focuses on the resilient part which allows man to overcome natural disasters and moral transgressions. The timelessness of man's conflict explains the motivations of symbolic character types in these plays and reveals a marked applicability to all average citizens in American society.
