And You Sang to Me, Bailiwick Repertory through Oct. 12. Author Steve Lovett creates three deft hotel room scenes, wherein three gay male pairs find love, friendship, and a kind of happy acceptance. Scene Two alone, richly textured and expertly acted, makes it worth seeing. (Reed)
Death and Harry Houdini, House Productions at the Viaduct, through Oct. 4. If you missed this in 2001—and you probably did—don’t miss this cavalcade of theatrical gimcrackery and spectacle in its new Big Top-sized environment. (Barnidge)
Le Comedie du Bicyclette, Lakeshore Theatre, through Sept. 28. All too short a run for this 90-minute musical delight that mocks Americans, the French, puppet shows, bicycles, youth hostels and sex with song parodies of Aznavour to Gilbert and Sullivan. (Abarbanel)
Three Sisters, GroundUp/Clock Productions at National Pastime Theater, through Oct. 5. Betty Friedan could have been writing about the women of the Prozorov family in this 1950s-tinged interpretation of the popular Chekhov classic. (Barnidge)
