Ideation

Capital Stage gives this hilarious but dark drama its first performances outside of its premiere in San Francisco. Playwright Aaron Loeb (First Person Shooter) puts a team of corporate consultants to work on a mysterious and ethically ambiguous project, daring them to confront moral dilemmas and their own consciences in the process. Carrie Paff, Jason Kuykendall, Peter Mohrmann, Jimmy Sidhu and Russell Dow star, and Michael Stevenson directs with clock-like precision. W 7pm; Th, F 8pm; Sa 2pm & 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 2/22. $22-$38. Capital Stage, 2215 J St.; (916) 995-5464, www.capstage.org. J.C.
