Main Street Players presents The Underpants by Carl Sternheim and adapted by Steve Martin. A public scandal takes place when Theo's very attractive wife's underpants fall to the ground during a parade for the King in 1910 Germany. He is a Government Clerk, and this incident is causing him much anxiety as he fears he will lose his job. What adds to the hilarity of the play is that Theo is desperately trying to rent one of the rooms in their flat to make ends meet and after the incident, a few intriguing men show up interested in being a tenant. As it turns out, each of them were at the parade when his wife's underpants fell and want to see her close up. This wild and wacky farce is meant to purely entertain, and legendary comic and musician Steve Martin has done a masterful job in turning it into a play that leaves its audience in stitches.
