Meet the parents

Three opportunities remain to see Chautauqua Playhouse do what it does best: stage a light romantic comedy with plenty of heart. In Things My Mother Taught Me, a young couple is moving into a new apartment in Chicago, halfway across the country from their parents. Just imagine what happens then when the ’rents show up to help—and six people, all loving and wise in their own ways, get jammed up in a two-bedroom apartment. $19-$21; 8 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday at Chautauqua Playhouse, 5325 Engle Road in Carmichael; (916) 489-7529; www.cplayhouse.org.
