(THEATER) Wonderful Life bills itself as a holiday play, but it's really a (mostly) loving scrapbook about Capitol Hill—and it's not a family show. Actors bob and weave through vignettes about love affairs, local bars, tweakers, sexy baristas, I Anonymous, and first apartments. The ensemble is strong and the set is a mock-up of WET's 19th Avenue storefront, with an onstage telephone pole. It's a rare treat to see a play so geographically specific it can use Federal Avenue as a punch line. (WET at the Little Theatre, 608 19th Ave E, 800-838-3006. 8 pm, $10–$15.) BRENDAN KILEY
