​Synopsis:
When a young housewife’s underpants accidentally fall to her ankles during a royal parade, her quiet life—and her marriage—explode into chaos. Suddenly, every eccentric man in town is desperate to rent a room in her home, each with his own outrageous agenda. As her uptight husband scrambles to protect their reputation, she begins to discover her own desires, ambitions, and power. Steve Martin’s The Underpants transforms a classic farce into a sharp, modern comedy about love, lust, and the absurd lengths people go to keep up appearances. Bold, witty, and delightfully inappropriate, it’s a guaranteed crowd‑pleaser.

Character Breakdown:​
Theo Maske (M, 40-50) A burly, muscular fireplug of a man (think lifetime military type)

Louise Maske (F, 25-30) Very pretty. Theo's wife. A constant dreamer

Gertrude Deuter (F, 40-50) A busy busybody. A troublemaker in the making

Frank Versati (M, 30-40) An elegant gentleman. A charmer

Benjamin Cohen (M, 30-40) A sickly, thin man. Comical type

"The Roommate", by Jen Silverman, follows Sharon and Robyn who both need a chance to start over and together they exorcise a lifetime's worth of frustrations and disappointments. At turns hilarious and surprising, in moments heartbreaking, this dark comedy proves that it's never too late for radical reinvention.

We are super excited to officially announce our full cast for "The Picture of Dorian Gray"!

Step into a world of beauty, temptation, and moral unraveling. When the charming young Dorian Gray makes a fateful wish—that his portrait should age while he remains forever young—he’s swept into a seductive spiral of indulgence and corruption. As Dorian’s outward perfection stays untouched, the hidden portrait grows twisted with every sin he commits. What begins as a flirtation with vanity becomes a chilling descent into obsession, secrets, and the high cost of eternal youth. Darkly elegant and irresistibly theatrical, The Picture of Dorian Gray invites audiences to witness a haunting tale where beauty deceives, pleasure consumes, and the truth can no longer stay hidden.

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" runs November 6th-22nd, 2026!

Take Care of the Puppies Productions is bringing Jen Silverman’s dark comedy, “The Roommate,” to Westminster Community Playhouse (WCP) for a three day run benefiting I.C.A.R.E., a local pet shelter. The production stars Sarah Hoeven and Randi Tahara and is directed by Austin James.

Performances are scheduled for Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 19, 2026, at 2 p.m. The Sunday matinee will also feature a dog adoption event before the performance, giving audiences an opportunity to support I.C.A.R.E. while meeting dogs in need of homes.

The partnership grew from Hoeven’s connection to animal adoption events hosted by AfterGLOW Wrestling through its Wrestling is 4 the Dogs shows. Hoeven reached out about the production and was connected with Original GLOW Girl Roxy Astor, helping bring Take Care of the Puppies Productions and I.C.A.R.E. together for the fundraising event.

The production centers on Sharon, a recently divorced woman living alone in Iowa who is looking for a roommate. Robyn arrives from New York hoping to escape her former life and begin again. As the two women develop an unexpected friendship, Robyn reveals a startling past that encourages Sharon to confront desires she has long kept hidden.

What begins as a simple roommate arrangement becomes a story about friendship, reinvention and the courage to change. The play balances dark humor with emotional moments as both women confront the disappointments that have shaped their lives.

For Westminster Community Playhouse Vice President Greg Stokes, the production also represents an opportunity for the theater to support a meaningful community cause. Holly Farrell represents I.C.A.R.E. for the fundraising partnership, which brings together live theater and animal adoption in support of the shelter.

With proceeds benefiting I.C.A.R.E. and a dog adoption event planned before Sunday’s performance, “The Roommate,” offers audiences more than a night at the theater. It is a chance to experience live theater while helping animals find new homes.

“The Roommate,” runs Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 19, 2026, at 2 p.m. at Westminster Community Playhouse. The Sunday dog adoption event takes place before the matinee.
