The Underpants

By Carl Sternheim, adaptation by Steve Martin

5 m., 2 f.

Directed by Mike Regan, Assistant Directed by Deb Wein

It’s the early 1900’s and Theobald Maske has an unusual problem: his wife’s underpants won’t stay on. One Sunday morning they fall to her ankles right in the middle of town—a public scandal! Mortified, Theo swears to keep her at home until she can find some less unruly undies. Amid this chaos he’s trying to rent a room in their flat. The prospective lodgers have some underlying surprises of their own. In The Underpants, Steve Martin brings his comic genius and sophisticated literary style to Carl Sternheim’s classic 1910 farce. His hilarious new version was staged by Artistic Director Barry Edelstein, and opened in March ‘02 on Off-Broadway to critical acclaim.

Bright Ideas

By Eric Coble

2 m, 3 f. (doubling): 5 total

Directed by Teresa Trich

This modern day dark comedy asks ‘How far would you go for your child?’ For Genevra and Joshua Bradley, the question is no longer hypothetical. Their three-year-old son, Mac, is next on the waiting list to get into the Bright Ideas Early Childhood Development Academy—and everyone knows once you’re in there, your life will unfold with glorious ease. Josh and Gen have had to scramble all their lives to get this far…and now they are one fatal dinner party away from the ultimate success as parents: The Right Pre-School. You may never look at pre-school—or pesto—the same way again.
