Duncan Pflaster's UNDERPANTS GODOT to Premiere at Secret Theatre, 8/18-29

CROSS-EYED BEAR PRODUCTIONS has announced the world premiere production of Duncan Pflaster's THE UNDERPANTS GODOT. The limited four performance engagement will take place at the Secret Theatre (44-02 23rd St Long Island City, NYC, NY 11101-5000). Performances are Tuesday August 18th at 7pm, Wednesday August 19th at 7pm, Friday August 28th at 9pm, and Saturday August 29th at 9pm. Tickets are on sale at http://unfringed2015.bpt.me/.

THE UNDERPANTS GODOT is about a director named Doug who is surreptitiously rehearsing for an avant-garde production of Waiting for Godot, with the main characters played by hot dudes in their underpants instead of old men. A representative from the notoriously litigious Samuel Beckett estate crashes a rehearsal to investigate and decide whether the performance should be allowed. The play is a hilarious meta-theatrical piece about the limits of adaptation and interpretation.

The production stars Pierce V. Lo, Roberto Pineda (PCTF Award 2012, Best Supporting Actor, Pflaster's The Taint of Equality), Jason Pintar* (Merrily We Roll Along, APAC), Amber Rhabb, Alyssa Simon* (Obie-winning Metropolitan Playhouse, Icebound, NYIT Nomination 2014, Within Arm's Reach), Patrick Walsh* (Live In Theater's The Ryan Case 1873, Drama Desk Nomination for Unique Theatrical Experience; Host of ScreamQueenz: The Podcast Where Horror Gets Bent, Five-time nominee for the New Media Expo People's Choice Award for Best GLBT Podcast; HBO's The Normal Heart), and David J. Wiens*.
