Stick Fly

Shakespearean in nature—a great man is brought low by ambition and deception—the latest production from Celebration Arts is meaningful theater indeed. James Wheatley directs with a loose hand (perhaps too loose in scenes of high drama), but his cast, including Preston Collier as the father and Tarig Elsiddig and Tory Scroggins as the sons, is excellent. Th, F, Sa 8 pm, Su 2 pm. Through 3/12. $8-$15. Celebration Arts Theatre, 4469 D Street; (916) 455-2787; www.celebrationarts.net. J.C.
