The Skin of Our Teeth

Wed, Dec 19, 1951

Production of Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer-winning play about mankind's triumph over chaos, which wildly altered dramatic conventions in freely shifting between modern-day New Jersey and the ice age - the Antrobus family pets being dinosaurs; and having characters speaking directly to the audience and criticizing the way their own dialogue was written.

Episode 2

Alison's House

Wed, Jan 2, 1952

The house of Alison Stanhope, the country's foremost poet who's been dead for 18 years, must now be sold. But it may hold secrets that could harm those she loved. Based upon Susan Glaspell's Pulitzer Prize winning play inspired by the life of Emily Dickinson.
