It’s been quiet on the blog lately, since our season ended April 27 with the closing of The Killdeer, and the staged reading series Big Ideas wrapped on May 12. But theatre rarely sleeps for long, so guess what? Producer Jennifer McKinley and director Ginette Mohr are already gearing up for the first production of the 2013/14 season. Which means – oh, yes – it’s audition time! Our webmistress is currently vacationing on the other side of the country, so this info isn’t yet up on Alumnae Theatre’s website – you’re seeing it here first.
“The Underpants”
By Carl Sternheim, adapted by Steve Martin
Directed by Ginette Mohr
PERFORMANCE DATES: September 20th – October 5th 2013
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.
