Weekend Theatre: Aug. 14-16

RECOMMENDED For these Unclosings @ New City Theatre. Local visual artist phenom Susie J. Lee has taken her studious exploration of the transience of memory out of the art gallery in this collaboration with dancer/choreographer Ying Zhou. Utilizing some impressive technology, Lee has put together a dramatic live performance/art installation/dance piece that builds on her already impressive catalog of achievements. (1404 18th Ave. Fri. & Sat., 8 p.m. Tix $15.)

Playwright Brendan Healy uses a healthy dose of whimsy and charm to tackle big themes of loss and love in his new play, , which debuted at Annex Theatre last weekend (Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m.; tix $15/$10). And that's a good way to go about it, because a more serious take on a girl with a shut-in, hypochondriac mother in permanent mourning for her dead husband would probably be tedious as hell.
