The Underpants - Mason City Community
Theatre, 215 S Delaware (641-424-6424). This wild satire was adapted from the
classic German play about Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative
existence is shattered when Louise's bloomers fall down in public. Though she
pulls them up quickly, he thinks the incident will cost him his job as a
government clerk. Louie's momentary display does not result in the feared
scandal but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the
spare room in the Marker's home. Oblivious of their amorous objectives, Theo
splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet
and the whiny hypochondriac. Box office
open 1-5pm weekdays. Tickets: adults $15.00/Students $10.00.Show times
Thursday-Saturday 7pm; Sunday 2pm. www.mccommunitytheatre.com
