This beloved American classic combines farce, burlesque and satire to follow an Eternal Family who narrowly escape ice, flood, and war—by the skin of their teeth.

The student cast includes Alex Amery, Erik Armstrong, Haley Reese Calhoun, Ellie Clark, Connor Daughtery, Sam Fisher, Annie Ganousis, Rachel Gaunce, Chloe Grogean, Elizabeth Hendricks, Bill McAtee, Lyssa Menosky, Perri Olson, Sam Redfern, Nick Slaughter, Steve Suydam, Devon Swanson, Aidan Tracy and Payton Wilks.

The performances will take place at 8 p.m. each day with talkbacks following the performances on April 7 and April 11.
