52 Pick Up

Sat at 8 pm. Through Nov 28.
"Local company Theater Simple has kept it smart, inventive, and low to the ground for 19 years, and back in 2001, they premiered 52 Pick Up—a romantic comedy milled through chance operations. The company has written titles on 52 cards, which are flung into the air and picked up randomly throughout the show. The order in which they're picked up determines the development of the relationship." (Brendan Kiley)

At Home at the Zoo

Thurs-Sun at 8 pm. Through Dec 5.
If Peter in At Home at the Zoo is the puppet, his strings are in precarious hands: First toyed with by his nauseatingly unsatisfied "you're good at making love but lousy at fucking" wife, Ann (Teri Lazzara, Schmeater's managing director), he then receives a fervent yank by storytelling transient Jerry (Alexander Samuels). The 1958 play, originally a one-act entitled The Zoo Story, was Edward Albee's first. Peter (J. D. Lloyd), a textbook publisher, meets a boardinghouse resident named Jerry on a bench in Central Park. Jerry tells stories about his life, building to a violent climax that takes both characters by surprise. Fifty years after premiering The Zoo Story, Albee tacked on a prequel and declared that professional theater companies could no longer perform the original play on its own. In the first act, Ann attempts to reach Jerry, to draw out the 'animal' in him. In the second act, Peter seeks solace in the park and is instead drawn in by the charming, degenerate, and peculiarly likable Jerry, who forces out the animal in Peter. But Jerry isn't kind to animals—he tells a story about the time he poisoned a dog. Kaia Chessen
