FALL PLAY OPENS TONIGHT
The Thespians have been hard at work preparing for their first production of the year, Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize for Drama-winning play "The Skin of Our Teeth." It originally opened on Broadway in 1942 and was the first stage play to be aired live on television in 1983.
 
The play, a comedy, is centered on George and Maggie Antrobus and their two children, Henry and Gladys.  The play's action takes place in a modern setting, but ignores the traditional notion of linear time by recounting such epochal events as the ice age, the great flood and various historical military conflicts.
 
Cast members include: Priya Iyer, Amanda Holcombe, Mike Hernandez, Brianne Holland, Arthur Siegel, Sean O�Brien, Mark Southlea, Laura Brennan, Aaron Wattenphul, Scott Southlea, Nikki Popp, Erica Ahlstrom, Jess Jeroski, John Lora, Lizzie Grand, Chelsea Barnes, Lea Roselli and Danielle Duncan.
 
Tickets will be sold at the door. Students and senior citizens tickets are $4 and adults are $6.
