'Caroline, or Change'
From the event description:
Set in Louisiana in 1963, the Tony-nominated "Caroline, or Change" is a riveting, fantastical and awe-inspiring musical that takes place during one of the most dramatic times in America’s history. Featuring a score that blends blues, gospel and traditional Jewish melodies, "Caroline" provides a breathtaking medium for playwright Tony Kushner’s ("Angels in America") provocative and personal story.
When: Friday, Sept. 27, 8 p.m.
Where: Victoria Theatre, 2961 16th St.
Price: $17.50–$20

'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'
From the event description:
Considered by some to be a "green parable," Samuel Taylor Coleridge's classic is a tale of man's crime against nature, with the shooting of the magnificent albatross — and the havoc that nature wreaks in return. Z Space’s stage will be turned into a sailing ship surrounded by the sea and the elements. We hope that you will enjoy Word for Word’s expansive take on this epic poem.
When: Friday, Sept. 27, 8 p.m.
Where: Z Space, 450 Florida St.

Welcome to Titipu, a town turned upside down by the arrival of Nanki-Poo, a roving trumpet player looking for his lost love, Yum Yum. Before long, he’s embroiled in the topsy-turvy machinations of Titipu’s powers-that-be, with hilarious results.

'Dionysus Was Such A Nice Man'
From the event description:
FoolsFURY returns with its most ambitious full production yet! "Dionysus Was Such A Nice Man" is a comic and pungent take on the story of Oedipus from the perspective of the family of shepherds who raised him. It completely dismantles and reimagines Sophocles’ classic play, exploring the point of view of Alcinoe, Oedipus’s adoptive sister, while examining the ways in which bad behavior, particularly by powerful men, is excused, concealed and exalted.
When: Friday, Sept. 27, 8 p.m.
Where: Joe Goode Annex, 401 Alabama St.
Price: $20
