Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest of the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself, at Goldblatt's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out." All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning a lamp shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking; Ralphie's fantasy scenarios and more.

Casting Call for Venus In Fur by David Ives
Directed by Katherine Almquist
Sunday, December 2nd by appointment
Monday, December 3rd & Tuesday, December 4th, 6:30 - 8:00 PM
Where: Green Room, Sherman Playhouse
Cast: 1 Man (30ish to 50ish) and 1 Woman (20ish/30ish) – Both roles open!

Synopsis: Thomas, a beleaguered playwright/director is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale "Venus in Furs." Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress-—oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas's interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win.
The New York Times called it "....ninety minutes of good, kinky fun"

"Timothy Huber as the self aggrandizing, arrogant husband is almost too good to be true. He has taken to this role with unbridled flair, making his character absolutely hilarious, and this is by far his best performance." Joanne Rochman, Republican-American. Two more performances this weekend. www.Shermanplayers.org
"This is community theater at its very best — an evening of light comedy performed by delightful actors in the hands of Director Dan Friedman, who has just the right touch" Beth Young, Newtown Bee. Two more performances of The Underpants. Shermanplayers.org

Imagine it is 1910 somewhere in Germany. There’s a crowd gathered to watch the King’s parade. Suddenly, a lovely lady watching the parade go by feels her underwear fall to the ground.

Suddenly, a lovely lady watching the parade go by feels her underwear fall to the ground. This is the hilarious premise for the farce “The Underpants” written in the early twentieth century by Carl Sternheim and adapted by none other than comic Steve Martin. No wonder it is so funny.www.newtownbee.com/theater-review-sherman-players-offering-comedy-theater-its-best/09282018
