The Underpants at The Players' Ring

The Underpants

By Steve Martin
Directed by CJ Lewis

Award-winning Seacoast artist CJ Lewis is back in the director’s chair to lead The Players’ Ring’s upcoming production of Steve Martin’s The Underpants, running from October 7th-23rd. 

When Louise and Theo Maske planned on attending the royal parade, they never could have imagined that their uptight existence would be unraveled when Louise’s underpants come tumbling to the ground in front of both king and country. While Theo frets about how the fashion faux pax could cost him his job and his reputation, Louise finds herself as the unknowing love interest of two infatuated admirers: the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac. When their efforts to get closer to Louise leads an unsuspecting Theo to rent out the Maskes’ spare room to the lovesick pair a raucous comedy rooted in love, sex, and politics ensues.
