And for our final bow of 2009-2010: Steve Martin’s “The Underpants”

Tickets are on sale now for SLT’s final production of the Season:

“The Underpants “  - Comedian Steve Martin's hilarious farce!

 

Underpants-Poster8-5x11

In The Underpants, a housewife becomes an overnight celebrity when she accidentally loses her underpants in public, much to the dismay of her conservative bureaucrat husband. When potential boarders start showing up at the door with hopes of renting their spare room, chaos ensues in this witty comedy that explores ambition, desire, and the fleeting nature of fame.
SLT’s Executive Artistic Director Jay E. Coffman says, “Steve Martin is certainly one of the comic geniuses of our time. Many people don’t know that he’s also a talented author, screenwriter and playwright.”
A seriously funny adult comedy with some suggestive situations and mild language, The Underpants is not meant for those under high school age.
“This one’s definitely for the adults,” Coffman says. “But for those who like a furiously paced, flat out side-splittingly funny comedy, The Underpants is going to be the place to be.”
The Underpants is supported, in part, by the The Arkwright Foundation.

What they’re saying about “The Underpants”:

“A brilliant, hilarious, mad adaption of an old play.”—New York Post

“Martin’s words are sharp, funny and fast:  What’s not to love?....Bravo, Steve Martin!”—The Journal News

“Hilarious and bawdy!”—The Village Voice

“Bad funs, goofy pratfalls, intellectual name-dropping and an endless stream of hilariously daffy lines creates a momentum that rolls…”—Time Out New York
