Day Off Diary: THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH’s Paige Gilbert

For many performers, after a long 8-show week, their one day off is time to rest and recharge. This week, we caught up with Paige Gilbert from The Skin of Our Teeth to spend an afternoon with her. Get to know a bit more about Paige in her #DayOffDiary:

‍Hometown? Detroit, MI.

Where might we find you on your day off? In the park. In the bed. At a museum. 

If you weren’t a performer, what would you be doing? Teaching, record company A&R, therapist.

If you could describe your experience with The Skin of our Teeth in just one word, what would it be? A DREAM.

Who are you jamming to on Spotify right now? Toro Y Moi, Summer Walker, Gunna Rob49, Babyface Ray.

What are you binging on TV right now? The ending of Ozark.

Read any good books lately? Do Plays count? The Skin of our Teeth by Thornton Wilder is pretty wild.

What is your favorite memory working on The Skin of Our Teeth? We had 15 minutes to come up with a dance for the second act and 28 people went into a room and worked together perfectly. I’d never experienced that in my life.
