Geva Theatre CenterA Chrismas Story
What's on Stage?

The Underpants
By Carl Sternheim
Adapated by Steve Martin
Directed by Bruce Jordan

January 3 – February 4

On the Mainstage

 


The Story:Louise and Theo live a modest and predictable life. . . until the day Louise’s bloomers fall down in public –at a parade, no less. Theo fears that the incident will cost him his position as a government clerk. Louise’s accidental lapse doesn’t cost her husband his job, but it does attract two men, both of whom have fallen under Louise’s unintended spell. Unsuspecting –but greedy –Theo rents the spare room to both of them, and it all gets just a little crowded.

The Experience: Sex, lies and lingerie. This one will tickle your fancy with outrageous humor and sharply drawn characters. Full of the wild wit you would expect from the mind of Steve Martin.

The Buzz: Yes, it’s that Steve Martin. This is the latest play from the author of the inspired lunacy of Picasso at the Lapin Agile (Geva 1997-98). Directed by Bruce Jordan, the creator/director of Geva’s 2005 hit, Shear Madness.
