Our 2006/7 Season

The Underpants

Steve Martin's adaptation of "The Underpants" from a 1910 German play by Carl Sternheim ("Die Hosen")

Directed by Cynthia Lake

Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) provides a wild satire adapted from a classic German play about Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative existence is shattered when Louise's bloomers fall down in public. Though she pulls them up quickly, he thinks the incident will cost him his job as a government clerk. Louise's momentary display attracts two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Markes' home. Oblivious to their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac.

Auditions: May 7 and 8, 2007
