The Coast Of Chicago, Walkabout/Lookingglass at the Water Tower, through Feb. 19. Location, location. Stuart Dybek chronicles the transition of the Pilsen district in Laura Eason’s 80-minute adaptation, perfect for visitors curious about Chicago’s history. MSB
Grace, Northlight Theatre, through Feb. 26. A stunner; beautifully staged and acted. Craig Wright’s intelligent, meaty play never mocks as it leads a born-again Christian couple to question their understanding of God’s plan for them and, thereby, their faith itself. JA
I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me by a Young Lady from Rwanda, Victory Gardens through March 5. A refugee from the 1994 Rwanda genocide makes a new life for herself in London. It’s a remarkably moving tale with powerful Yetide Badaki in the lead role. RR
Valentine Victorious, House Productions, through March 11. After stringing us along for two time-traveling episodes, House Prods wraps up Valentine’s odyssey with a bang—literally—as our hero saves a corrupt film-noir Chicago from nuclear Armageddon. MSB
