Theater at Case Western Reserve University continues the 2011-2012 drama series with The Underpants, by Carl Sternheim and Adaptaded by Steve Martin. Performances are November 11, 12, 17, 18, 19 at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees on October 13 and 20 at 2:30 p.m. Eldred Theater is located at 2070 Adelbert Rd., on the Case Quad behind Millis Science Center.
Based on Carl Sternheim’s classic 1910 German farce, Steve Martin’s adapation tells the story of Theobald Maske, a bourgeois Berliner whose wife’s underpants just don’t seem to be able to stay up. The Underpants is a ribald and hilarious tale of the conflict between prudery and lust that challenges us to examine what’s really important in life.
General admission is $10, with discounted prices of $7 for adults over 60 and Case personnel, and $5 for students. For ticket reservations or information, call the box office for the department of theater and dance at 216-368-6262.
