Bruce Norris' Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning satire on racism, real estate, fear, loss and words gets a brave and intelligent production by Capital Stage. Michael Stevenson directs an outstanding ensemble cast (each actor plays two or three roles) in a provocative play with its two acts set 50 years apart. You'll never laugh more at something that makes you question your own feelings and motivations. W 7pm; Th, F, Sa 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 10/6. $26-$36.
