Yellow Dragon Productions will presents Steve Martin’s The Underpants, Feb. 1-10 at St. Luke United Methodist Church’s Marshall Hall.
Starring Dennis Parker as Theo Maske and Amanda West as his wife Louise, this German farce was adapted by Steve Martin from a play written by Carl Sternheim.
Review for The Underpants:
Theobald Maske has an unusual problem: his wife's underpants won't stay on. One Sunday morning they fall to her ankles right in the middle of town--a public scandal! Mortified, Theo swears to keep her at home until she can find some less unruly undies. Amid this chaos he's trying to rent a room in their flat. The prospective lodgers have some underlying surprises of their own.
In The Underpants, Steve Martin brings his comic genius and sophisticated literary style to Carl Sternheim's classic 1910 farce, Die Hose. This bawdy comedy with adult themes and language is rated PG-13.
The Underpants is directed by Joel D. Scribner, Yellow Dragon Productions’ founder and artistic director. Rounding out the cast are Samantha Teter, Garrett Henson-Hinck, Rider Barnum, and Donald Strickland.
