The Stranger

An improbable comedy about ecoterrorism and celebrity, The Show is narrated by Nature Man, who has come to New York City to shut down the electricity so we can return to a pre-wired world. In the midst of his tale, we meet gangsters, club crooners, bitter talk-show hosts, prissy fashionistas, and more. Incredibly, The Show is a solo piece—performer Troy Miszklevitz is a Trojan horse, packed with dozens of characters. It's mesmerizing to watch them jostle together in a single body, on a bare stage. (Washington Ensemble Theatre, 608 19th Ave E, 800-838-3006. 8 pm, $10—$15, through Jan 7.) by Brendan Kiley
