SHE SEES LONDON. SHE SEES FRANCE …

Jenny sees someone’s underpants! Well, sort of. Our girl about town, Jenny Block, was a busy girl this weekend. Her whirlwind of activities began on Friday night, when she saw The Underpants at SMU. Check it out:

Despite having appeared in university theater productions–or maybe I should say because I have appeared in university theater productions–I generally dismiss them. But Friday night I decided to go to SMU to see The Underpants. How could I resist an entire show based on a woman’s underpants falling down around her ankles in the middle of a parade? A parade for the king, no less. Plus, Steve Martin wrote the adaptation of this 1910 German farce by Carl Sternheim, which struck me as a good sign comedy-wise. Anyway, the show was fantastically funny. My only complaint is that the cast didn’t always stop for the laughter, so I missed some of the lines. The set is great-looking, as are the costumes. And the actors and actresses? Suffice it to say, this gang could audition for any number of our fabulous, local theaters. You still have a chance to see it March 2-5 in the Greer Garson Theater of the Meadows building. Showtimes are at 8 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays.
