'Mr. Burns: The Post-Electric Play'

From the event description:

The stories we tell can grow in size over time, becoming exaggerated, grander, funnier and more outlandish...especially when Netflix and cell phones are no longer a thing. "Mr. Burns" is the play-turned-operetta where one ragtag group of post-apocalyptic survivors cure the ache of boredom by performing that Emmy-winning episode of "The Simpsons" -- complete with half-remembered pop song and commercial interludes. Beloved troublemaker Bart Simpson evolves into a legend more akin to Hercules in the decades following humanity's great tragedy.

When: Friday, March 13, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Art Court Theatre, 3835 Freeport Blvd.
Price: $9

'Hamlet'

The Sacramento Theatre Company picks up the mantle and explores the timeless themes in this riveting production.

When: Friday, March 13, 8 p.m.

'The Sleeper'

From the event description:

A suburban "security mom," shell-shocked by the new post 9/11 reality, finds herself irresistibly drawn to her son's tutor, a handsome young man with political leanings far different from her own. Her "awakening" leads to a bizarre series of events that blow the lid off her previously sheltered existence and change the lives of all around her. A dark and slightly zany comedy.

When: Saturday, March 14, 8 p.m.
Where: The Wilkerson Theater, 2509 R St.
Price: $10
