Argonautika, Lookingglass Theatre, through Dec. 23. The special effects aren’t Ray Harryhausen’s, but Andre Pluess and Ben Sussman’s music puts us right out on the high seas with Jason and his Argonauts, as adapted by stellar director Mary Zimmerman. MSB
Frank’s Home, Goodman Theatre, through Dec. 23. It’s 1923 and Frank Lloyd Wright has alienated everyone. Peter Weller stars as the prickly genius in this world premiere by America’s most intelligent playwright, Richard Nelson. Robert Falls directs. JA
Quita Mitos, Teatro Luna at the Viaduct, through Dec. 17. Three monologues by Tanya Saracho who uses humor, irony and despair to take her mujeres Latina to unexpected places. JA
The Real Thing, Remy Bumppo Theatre Company, through Jan. 7. You saw them wrestle on a tabletop in Tartuffe, but now Nick Sandys and Linda Gillum make the sparks fly in Tom Stoppard’s brainy discourse on the topic of luuuuve. MSB
