Expanded information on The Underpants:

"The Underpants" (a Comedy/Farce)
by Carl Sternheim, Adapted by Steve Martin
Produced & Directed by Cynthia Frabutt
Presented by Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre

The play, a farce set in 1910 Germany, centers on a young married couple and the scandal that follows after the wife’s underpants fall down in public, as they wait to see the king passing by in a parade. The incident embarrasses the usually inattentive husband and makes the wife an unwitting object of desire. In fact, shortly after the parade, two men come to the couple’s home, ostensibly to rent a space room, but more interested in wooing the wife. Or so it seems.
 
The Underpants is a farce sparked by the unmentionables of a bureaucrat's wife falling down in public. Playwright Steve Martin has well adapted the original comedy by Carl Sternheim into a smart and funny play on the ridiculousness of how people deal with their sexual desires.

The intimate staging is in the half-round with multiple levels.

All performances of "The Underpants" will be in support of disaster relief and the Red Cross. With audience participation, Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre is donating new, unopened, packaged undergarments to The Red Cross with your help. For every package of new underwear (shirts or bottoms; child's or adult) that each patron donates, their name will be entered in a raffle for a $50 gift card to Victoria's Secret, Macy's, Target, drawn nightly, at each performance! The more underwear donated, the more opportunity to enter the raffle as well as help others in great need. So come 'Drop your drawers', open your hearts, and join us for an evening of laughter and ... underpants.
