Ethan Lipton’s The Seat of Our Pants is a sharp, musical reimagining of Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth, following the endlessly resilient Antrobus family as they lurch through 5,000 years of disasters—both cosmic and domestic—while facing the same anxieties we all do today. With songs, absurd twists, and an irreverent sense of humor, the show explores how we keep starting over in the face of chaos. Directed by Leigh Silverman and choreographed by Sunny Min-Sook Hitt, this timely spectacle reminds us that survival is a messy, human art.
