In one of Neil Simon’s lesser-known comedies, daughter Libby arrives unexpectedly looking for the father who left her family 16 years before. Father Herb is a writer and Libby wants him to use his nonexistent connections to get her into the movies. Excellent acting, particularly by Kate Brugger as Libby, makes this a superb production. Th 6:30pm, F 8pm, Sa 2pm and 8pm, Su 2pm, W 6:30pm. Through 12/11. $15-$38. Sacramento Theatre Company, 1419 H Street. (916) 443-6722; www.sactheatre.org. B.S.
