Ghosts, Bohemian Theatre Ensemble at Heartland Studio, through July 18. Ibsen’s shocking 19th century family drama may initially come off as dated, but savvy audiences will spot numerous relevancies in BoHo’s smart production of Landford Wilson’s compact adaptation. SCM
Lookingglass Alice, Lookingglass Theatre Company, through Aug. 1. A circus-like version of Lewis Carroll which kids will like, but with adult psychological depths such as repeated images of burial and resurrection. Return visit of troupe’s signature show. JA.
No Exit, The Hypocrites at Athenaeum Theatre, through July 11. Sean Graney steps off the promenade to direct an unexpectedly fast-paced day-glo rendition of the Sartre classic, proving that he still has the imaginative spark that made the Hypocrites’ reputation. MSB
Of Mice and Men, Oak Park Festival Theatre, through July 10. Real rabbits hop across Austin Gardens as John Steinbeck’s iconic losers, Lennie and George, talk of rabbits and their little dream ranch. A heartfelt production in a perfect setting, through this week only. JA
