The Sweat Girls—a band of writers, performers and true sisters—has sallied forth again with unique commentaries on women and the world, Cirque du Sweat. As they become older, The Sweat Girls’ work becomes wiser, yet always retains its wry twist. In Cirque du Sweat, the Girls employ the exaggerations of clowns and side shows to examine their roles as mothers, wives, mates and individuals in a series of well-integrated monologues. ‘Under the Big Top, when a biological clock ticks, someone smashes it! Under the Big Top there is sparkle, splendor, sweat!’ Through June 14, 4139 N. Broadway; (773) 868-4620; $17.
