A free-spirited riff on Thornton Wilder's playlet Proserpina and the Devil, this short comedy follows the antics of Red Pants and Blue Pants, co-performers and partners in crime. As they attempt to present their usual play-within-a-play, personal conflict and costume-related angst keep getting in the way. The meddling of two tricky potion pushers, Peep and Gnarly Carly, doesn't help. Will their trusty spot op Leroy, befuddled stage manager Deborah, and a dose of magic help keep Red and Blue's show on the road, or will everyone get their pants in a twist?
