Rich’s Houston and Obsidian Theater present ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’
You’ll need to hurry, but worthy viewing is Classical Theatre Company’s production of Mrs. Warren’s Profession, written by George Bernard Shaw (who knows something about wordsmithing) and directed by Julia Traber. The story tells of a middle-aged woman, Mrs. Kitty Warren, a former prostitute and current brothel madam who becomes acquainted with her grown daughter, Vivie, for the very first time. Vivie, a graduate of Cambridge University, is horrified by her mother’s profession; the audience sees how this realization changes the two women’s dynamic. Through October 22. Tickets: ClassicalTheatre.org, 713-063-9665.
Also time-sensitive is Dixie’s Tupperware Party. For a second year, Dixie Longate brings her unique show in which Houstonians are subjected to an actual Tupperware sales pitch. But with proceeds going to the Houston Food Bank, it’s hard to complain. Dixie’s wit and personality make this a great date night or an outing with friends. Through October 22. Hobby Center’s Sarofim Hall. Tickets: TheHobbyCenter.org.
Balls, a world premiere by Kevin Armento and Bryony Lavery, lands at Stages Repertory Theatre. It’s 1973 and Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs face off in “The Battle of the Sexes†tennis match.

In an exciting collaboration, Obsidian Theater brings the wildly popular production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch to Rich’s Nightclub.
