A character with this profession becomes upset when another character refuses to say “a man outgrows his wife every seven years.” At the beginning of another play, a character with this profession says, “the morning star always gets wonderful bright the minute before it has to go.” Mr. Fitzpatrick holds this job during a mass food poisoning in a play about the Antrobus family. A character with this profession remarks that “this is the way things were” before a choir directed by the alcoholic organist Simon Stimson sings. That character with this profession replies, “the saints and poets, maybe” when a dead woman asks him if human beings “realize life while they live it” after she revisits her twelfth birthday. For 10 points, Thornton Wilder included characters with what profession in his plays The Skin of Our Teeth and Our Town? ■END■
