Throughout the run of Steve Martin’s The Underpants, Portland Center Stage is conducting an underpants “drive” to collect new, packaged underpants for the homeless.  It’s a gift everyone needs that is too often forgotten during the holidays.  Please bring your contribution to the cause in the form of new, packaged underpants, of any variety, when you come to see the show.   This effort will only be as significant as you make it, so don’t forget to buy a pair for the homeless next time you’re in the department store and bring them on over to the Armory.  Please don’t take them out of the original packaging, but don’t bother wrapping them, unless you’ll feel better carrying them down the street that way!  We’ll take care of the rest in seeing that the undies get to the kind people at Rose Haven and St. Vincent De Paul’s Downtown Chapel who will share them with those in need.
