THE UNDERPANTS Begins Run at Anchorage Community Theatre on April 30

'The Underpants' will begin its run on April 30 at the Anchorage Community Theatre. The show will play through May 23, 2010.

The Underpants
Steve Martin adapted from Carl Steinheim April 30 - May 23, 2010

Directed by Nate Benson
produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

The renowned comic actor and author of Picasso at the Lapine Agile provides a wild satire adapted from the 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 does not result in the feared scandal but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Markes' home. Oblivious of their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac.
