THE UNDERPANTS is an adaption from Carl Sternheim's 1910 play DIE HOSE. The adapter is comedian and actor, Steve Martin. Martin's humor is clearly present throughout the play with an absurd amount of overt sexual innuendos, slapstick comedy, and over-the-top characters. Though the humor is shallow, the story is nearly absurd.
Theatre UCF opens Steve Martin's laugh-out-loud comedy The Underpants on Thursday, September 19 at the Black Box Theater on the UCF campus. The play will run for three weeks, through October 5.

The suicide of a University of Central Florida student, which made national headlines this week, makes this University's production of SPRING AWAKENING eerily timed, but a necessary discussion. Meant to provoke discussion about taboos like sex, abortion, homosexuality, child abuse, and suicide, the show is edgy and modern.
