Performing Arts Play: Steve Martin’s “The Underpants”
LBCC Performing Arts presents Steve Martin’s adaptation of “The Underpants” May 9-11 and May 16-18. Theobald Maske has an unusual problem: his wife's underpants won't stay on. When her underpants fall to her ankles right in the middle of town, a public scandal ensues. Mortified, Theobald swears to keep his wife at home until she can find some less unruly undies. Amid this chaos, Theobald is trying to rent a room in their flat, but the prospective lodgers have some underlying surprises of their own. Steve Martin brings his comic genius and sophisticated literary style to Carl Sternheim's classic 1910 farce. LBCC theater instructor Dan Stone directs the play, which contains adult situations and humor. Performance dates are May 9, 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18 at 7:30 p.m., and May 11 at 2 p.m. (ASL performance). Ticket prices are $9 for adults, $7 for seniors and students, $5 for under 18 when accompanied by an adult. Purchase online for no fee at www.linnbenton.edu/russelltripp...
