Syracuse Stage Presents: Steve Martin’s “The Underpants”

Syracuse Stage tickets are currently available for purchase in the Arts & Sciences office (Gordon 286) for $15 each at Utica College; A program that consistently offers students (and others) the opportunity to get tickets for Broadway plays at a great price.

This sale offers viewings for comedian Steve Martin from ‘The Underpants,’ as directed by Bill Fennelly.

The following is a trailer for the show. A little sneak peek, so you know what you’re getting:

“A guffaw inducing comedy from the wild and crazy mind of the incomparable Steve Martin. Dusseldorf, 1910. A very public wardrobe malfunction (a young woman’s underpants fall down at a parade—for the King!) becomes the talk of the town in this ribald update of an uproarious German farce. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Chock-full of sexual innuendo, verbal jousting, and non-stop laughter, The Underpants skewers the absurdity of instant fame. Das ist funny! Bill Fennelly (Hairspray, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) directs.”

“Hilarious and bawdy.” – The Village Voice

“Valiantly eccentric.” – The New York Times

If you’ve never seen a Broadway kind of performance, consider this one. Reviews for the show are raving.

Tickets are for the performance on Saturday, October 24 at 3:00 p.m.

Transportation by bus will be available free of charge to students. The buses will depart from Strebel Circle by 1:20 p.m. While they may give you an extra five minutes or so, you’ll want to be there on time. You don’t want to miss it.

Why struggle?

There are so many resources that Utica College offers if a student is struggling, one of which is individual peer tutoring.

That leaves the question: “Why in the world don’t you get one?”

They are FREE. The tutors are FREE. If you need one (or just want one), then get one!

Often times if a professor sees you struggling they will recommend one. Or they can do you one better and send an academic alert and have an A.C.E. adviser demand you get one.

You want a good grade. We all do. Take the help it takes to get one.

On the flip side, you could actually be a tutor for a subject you’ve taken a class on and received a good grade. It’s a pretty good way to make some cash.

How to keep yourself and your partner safe

The information you need to make good decisions
