The allegorical classic about the Antrobus family of Excelsior, New Jersey persevering through an Ice Age, a biblical flood, and war, the play will feature Meredith as Mr. Antrobus, Roslyn Ruff as Mrs. Antrobus, Paige Gilbert and Julian Robertson as their children Gladys and Henry, Beans as the maid Sabina and Priscilla Lopez as the Fortune Teller.

“The Skin of Our Teeth is about a family that encounters the end of the world over and over and over again,” said director Blain-Cruz. “To be on the brink of extinction – and yet manage to survive – not only survive but invent and laugh and live and learn – is extraordinary. I find that extraordinariness – the surreal nature of survival – manifested so incredibly in the Black experience and is why I’m so thrilled to bring this particular company of actors together -for this production. The astounding theatrical collisions that Wilder presented in the 40’s during World War II – now get to be examined in a new way with a cast that embodies the complexity that is America.”

The production will have sets by Adam Rigg, costumes by Montana Levi Blanco, lighting by Yi Zhao, sound by Palmer Hefferan, and projections by Hannah Wasileski.
