ID: 295684Exp: 11/21/2025
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "The Underpants" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: When Louise Maske's underpants accidentally fall down in public during a parade for the King, her uptight husband Theo fears scandal and social ruin. Instead, their misfortune sparks the interest of several eccentric suitors, all eager to rent a room in the Maske household-bringing chaos, comedy, and a battle of egos to the quiet couple's lives. Steve Martin's adaptation of Carl Sternheim's German farce is witty, fast-paced, and unapologetically ridiculous. Additional info: What to Expect Please come prepared with a one minute comedic monologue and a willingness to play. Callbacks with readings for specific parts will be scheduled on Nov. 24 if needed. Callbacks (if needed): Monday, November 24 Performance Dates: January 30, 31, February 1, 6, 7, 8 Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow time for you to fill out paperwork prior to the start of auditions. Be prepared to list any conflict dates for rehearsals or show dates. Please apply if interested.
