Clarkston Village Players presents “The Underpants,” a comedy satire by Carl Sternheim adapted for the U.S. stage by “wild and crazy guy” Steve Martin.
In 1910 Germany, Louise Maske’s underpants fall down in public. Though she wore a long skirt, the whole town saw her bloomers and scandal ensues. Her husband, Theo, is mortified and fears Louise’s brief display will cost him his job, but instead it attracts two men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Maske’s home and seduce Louise.
