In this one-man show, Kodeski recounts the long life of a minister’s wife, based on anecdotes he gleaned from interviews with the woman (who now lives in a local retirement home). “Performing in a style that’s the very antithesis of drag–sans wig, falsetto, and stereotyped feminine gestures–Kodeski is nevertheless remarkably affecting,” says Reader critic Jack Helbig. Lunar Cabaret, 8 PM.

The Curious Theatre Branch presents Bryn Magnus’s collection of “dreamscape examinations of pop-life violence and its real-live effects.” Jenny Magnus directs. “The two very short one-acts that make up the first part of Hyperbolic Gangland are . . . carefully written, . . . gracefully directed, . . . and finely acted. . . . Unfortunately, the last third . . . needs much more work before it’s fit for public consumption,” says Reader critic Jack Helbig. Lunar Cabaret, 8 PM.
