Bourban at the Border

In this adaptation of Pearl Cleage’s 1990s-era drama, memories of the civil rights movement of the 1960s are still fresh for May (Brooklynn Solomon) and Charlie (Andre Ramey). Through friendship and camaraderie, they and their friends must come to terms with some awful truths, including decisions that hearken back to a past filled with horror. Cameron Johnson takes the cake as wily friend Tyrone. His timing is pitch-perfect, and he works seamlessly with the language and tone of the play. Th, F, Sa 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 6/30. $8-$15, Celebration Arts, 4469 D St.; (916) 455-2787; www.celebrationarts.net.
