RECOMMENDED
murder, hope @ Annex Theatre. Becky Poole has created a brilliant little one-woman show that deals with disease, its impact on family, and superheroes. She also plays music on saws. It's flippin' awesome. (1100 E. Pike St. Fri. & Sat., 11 p.m. Tix $10/$5.)
OPENINGS
Kid Simple @ Theatre off Jackson. Macha Monkey Productions' newest show, directed by the talented Kristina Sutherland, seems to bear some similarity to the last show we saw her in, interlace [falling star] at Annex. Kid Simple is a sci-fi fable about a girl who invents a hearing machine, falls for its shapeshifting thief, and pursues him into a world of shifting sonicscapes. (409 Seventh Ave. S. Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m.; tix $15.)
Death, Sex @ the Balagan. The Balagan is switching things up with a new one-act play fest. Death, Sex features six 10-minute comedies about the titular topics by the likes of Shel Silverstein and David Mamet. Performances feature such local talent as Hannah Schnabel and the lovely Lachrista Borgers. (1117 E. Pike St. Fri. 8 & 10 p.m., Sat. 8 p.m. Tix $15/$12.)
Memphis @ 5th Avenue. Set in 1950s Memphis, this new musical from Broadway regular Joe DiPietro and Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan tells the story of a dj who's breaking down racial barriers by playing the black people's music for whitey for the first time. (1308 Fifth Ave. Tues. & Weds., 7:30; Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m.; matinees Sat. at 2 & Sun. at 1:30. Tix $24-$81.)
ALSO PLAYING...
The Road to Mecca @ the Rep. "[A] snoozer's a snoozer, and the first act was definitely a snoozer. Not so much the second act, featuring a phenomenally explosive performance, which is, we suppose, a way of saying to readers to just stick with it--it gets good." [Read our review.] (Thurs.-Sun. 7:30, Sat. & Sun 2; tix $15-$59.)
Blind Spot @ Annex Theatre. "There are a lot of things to love about Annex Theater's production of Blind Spot. After all, the play is nothing if not imaginative." [Read our review.] (1100 E. Pike St. Fri. & Sat., 8 p.m. Tix $12/$7/$5.)
