Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department
Wilder’s groundbreaking, Pulitzer Prize-winning satire is a wild and raucous tour of humanity through the ages. George Antrobus (inventor of the wheel), his devoted family, and his saucy maid find themselves facing one spectacular disaster after another - climate change, war, flood, famine, and economic collapse. From wooly mammoths to an Atlantic City beauty contest to the aftermath of global war, extinction and survival race to the finish line in a joyous, inspiring, and spectacular celebration of humanity's resilience. Wildly entertaining, this American classic is shockingly contemporary and more pertinent than ever before.

A Man for All Seasons
Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department
A Man For All Seasons is a play by Robert Bolt based on the life of Sir Thomas More. An early form of the play had been written for BBC Radio in 1954, and a one-hour live television version starring Bernard Hepton was produced in 1957 by the BBC, but after Bolt's success with The Flowering Cherry, he reworked it for the stage.
The plot is based on the true story of Sir Thomas More, the 16th-century Chancellor of England, who refused to endorse King Henry VIII's wish to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon, who did not bear him a son, so that he could marry Anne Boleyn, the sister of his former mistress. The play portrays More as a man of principle, envied by rivals such as Thomas Cromwell and loved by the common people and by his family.
