"Thornton Wilder received Pulitzer Prizes for both Our Town (produced at Intiman as the first American Cycle production in 2004) and The Skin of Our Teeth, a comedy about a typical American family—in a not-so-typical American family drama. Wilder's allegorical Everyfamily live in a world continuously at risk of being trampled by a dinosaur, threatened by an iceberg, ravaged by a flood and ruined by war," according to press materials.  Wilder began writing The Skin of Our Teeth in 1940. Sher's production is set in 1942 (the year the play was completed and produced) and features scenic and costume designs by Michael Yeargan and Catherine Zuber, his Tony Award-winning collaborators on The Light in the Piazza. The creative team also included lighting designer Marcus Doshi, composer and sound designer Peter John Still and dialect coach Alyssa Keene. The stage manager is Lisa Ann Chernoff.

Leading the ensemble cast of The Skin of Our Teeth are Howie Seago (Ajax, with director Peter Sellars) as Mr. Antrobus, Anne Scurria (Singing Forest at Intiman) as Mrs. Antrobus and Kristin Flanders (Richard III at Intiman) as Sabina. Also featured in the Ensemble are actors and musicians Kelly Balch, Laurence Ballard, Amy Conant, Clayton Corzatte, Catherine E. Harris-White, David Hunter Koch, Ernest L. Pumphrey Jr., Chelsey Rives, Gregory Scott Rocha, Derek Schreck, Lucia Sher, J.D. Tracy and Kate Wisniewski.

Director Bartlett Sher has been Intiman's Artistic Director since 2000. He received a 2006 Tony nomination for his direction of Awake and Sing! by Clifford Odets and 2005 Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critic Circle nominations for his direction of The Light in the Piazza by Craig Lucas and Adam Guettel, both for Lincoln Center Theater. In 2006, he made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera with a new production of The Barber of Seville.
