Obie Award-winning playwright and songwriter Ethan Lipton brings his irreverently funny new musical The Seat of Our Pants to The Public this fall. A rollicking adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth, this new musical about age-old problems tells the twisting, often absurd story of the Antrobus family, who have been alive for 5,000 years but live in the same existential dread as the rest of us. Mired in the hot mess of their everyday worries, the Antrobuses survive all manner of catastrophes in an endless quest to begin again, and again, and again. Choreographed by Sunny Min-Sook Hitt and directed by two-time Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, this bracingly original spectacle is a musical reminder that surviving is what we do best.
