The Skin of Our Teeth, Act II clips

Thorton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "The Skin of Our Teeth" is the satiric story of the extraordinary Antrobus family through the ages. This family has survived flood, fire, pestilence, the ice age, a dozen wars and as many depressions. Ultimately bewitched, befuddled and becalmed, they are the stuff of which heroes and buffoons are made and their survival is a wacky testament of faith in humanity.

This production was directed by University of Richmond theatre professor Dorothy Holland and ran from November 15-22, 2008, at the Modlin Center for the Arts.

These scenes take place on the Atlantic City boardwalk. At the annual convention of The Great Order of Mammals, Sub-division Human, Mr. Antrobus is elected president and he gets seduced by Miss Lily Sabina Faiweather, hostess of the local Bingo Parlor. Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus are played by Equity Artists-in-Residence Joe Inscoe and Irene Ziegler.
