The Seat Of Our Pants 

October 24, 2025 - November 30, 2025

Venue Newman Theater, Public Theater

Adaptation, Music, and Lyrics by Ethan Lipton  

Based Upon the Play The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder

Choreography by Sunny Min-Sook Hitt

Directed by Leigh Silverman

Obie Award-winning playwright and songwriter Ethan Lipton and two-time Tony nominee director Leigh Silverman bring their irreverently funny new musical THE SEAT OF OUR PANTS to The Public this fall. A rollicking adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 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, this bracingly original spectacle is a musical reminder that surviving is what we do best.

THE SEAT OF OUR PANTS will feature Ally Bonino (Fortune Teller), Bill Buell (Turkey/Ensemble), Damon Daunno (Henry Antrobus), Andy Grotelueschen (Announcer/Ensemble), Amina Faye (Glady Antrobus), Allison Ann Kelly (Ensemble/Musician), Nat Lopez (Ensemble), Ruthie Ann Miles (Mrs. Antrobus), Geena Quintos (Mammoth/Ensemble), and David Ryan Smith (Ensemble). Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
