Buyer & Cellar

Nick Cearley charms as a struggling actor who takes a preposterously impossible job working in the basement mall of Barbra Streisand's Malibu home. This play broaches several important topics: the isolation of celebrity, the narcissism that accompanies stardom, the mark of an unhappy childhood on the adult and even the attraction between gay men and divas. Tu, W, Sa 8pm; Th, F 7pm; Th 2pm; Su 1pm. Through 5/9. $23-$35. B2 Space at B Street Theatre, 2727 B Street; (916) 443-5300, www.bstreettheatre.org. J.C.
