The Underpants at American Repertory Theater of WNY

Coming off a winter hiatus, ART/WNY kicks off the second-half of the 2016-17 season with renowned comic actor and author of PICASSO AT LAPIN AGILE, Steve Martin's wild satire adaptation of the classic 1910 German farce DIE HOSE by the playwright Carl Sternheim. Artie Award winning director Jeffrey Coyle (FLOYD COLLINS; BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON) returns to ART/WNY to oversee this hysterical romp. THE UNDERPANTS is schedule to open on March 8th running four weeks to April 1st.



Candice Kogut returns to ART (HELLO AGAIN) as the flashing 'Louise Markes' having to answer to her esteemed husband 'Theo Markes' played by ART alumni (and company fav) David Mitchell. THE UNDERPANTS also features an assortment of characters including the enamored (read: horny) team of 'Frank Versati' played by ART debuting Ben Caldwell, and 'Benjamin Cohen', played by ART alumni Rich Kraemer. Pam Mangus will also make her return to the ART stage as the upstairs neighbor 'Gertrude Deuter' and rounding off the cast as 'Klinglehoff' is Michael Starzinski (also a company fav).
