The farce, adapted by comedian and writer Steve Martin from a short story by Carl Sternheim, pokes fun at societal class distinctions and the very human trait of worrying about what others may think of us, while simultaneously examining the frequently unexpected and overblown results of seemingly minor occurrences.

The play stars Gil Brantley, Mavis Brantley-Lloyd, Robert Brooks, Marianna Lavinder, Mike Perry & Tom Saunders.

Little Theatre's production of The Underpants is directed by Alice Saunders and Mavis Brantley-Lloyd.

The Underpants is the third production of Little Theatre's 2005-2006 season, and is the second to be performed in the elegantly restored North Theatre, located at 629 N. Main St. in Danville. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 pm February 24 & 25, with a 2 pm matinee Sunday, February 26. Admission to each performance is $12 per person. Due to the spaciousness of the North Theatre auditorium, the theatre group has dispensed with advance ticket sales, and will offer ticket sales only at the door. Discount packages are available for groups of ten or more.
