Take the drudgery out of Elizabethan theater with this three-man cast performing Shakespeare’s entire cannon—37 plays total—but with modifications, like adding rap to Othello or cooking tips to Titus Andronicus. Wed 1 p.m., 7:30 p.m.; Fri-Sat 7:30 p.m.; Sun 1 p.m., 7:30 p.m.

Set in 1905 in Anatevka, Russia, this theater classic displays a cultural clash between tradition and transformation.

Fri-Sun, times vary.

 › Closer
Date: 1372473000 - 1374460200

A relationship between two people is complicated enough. Add two more personalities and the result is a messy, deceitful situation. In a sort of sexual square dance, this lust-stricken quartet rotates partners, cheating, breaking up, making up, and then cheating again in a constant—and somewhat ineffective—quest for intimacy. Fri-Sat 7:30 p.m.; Sun 2 p.m. 

 

 › Curtains
Date: 1373423400 - 1375045200

Talent, success, fame—envy-inducing traits commonly act as the motivation for murder. However, when a murder victim is remarkably untalented, widely unsuccessful, and universally unknown, it creates a challenging—and comical—case to solve. Investigate the murder of a D-list star in this whodunit musical comedy.

 › Brad Wollack
Date: 1374891300 - 1374986700

With a full head of curly red hair, comedian Brad Wollack has been the butt of nearly every redhead joke out there.

Fri-Sat 7:15 p.m., 9:45 p.m.

Date: 1368844200 - 1371436200

Katharine Hepburn and Judy Garland—actresses by day, murderers by night? In a parody of the great “whodunit” thrillers of the 1940s, this play reimagines classic movie starlets as suspects in a lethal crime. With vampy cross-dressing and a plethora of humor, audiences will see a side of Hollywood that goes beyond the silver screen. Fri-Sat 7:30 p.m.; Sun 2:30 p.m.
