Red Bench Entertainment Summer One-Act Theatre Play Series

Support local independent theater this weekend with a couple of one-act comedies presented by Red Bench Entertainment. In Bad Auditions by Bad Actors, a casting director has 24 hours to cast her production of Romeo and Juliet and comes across some theater weirdos. Then see if you have the skills while watching four people try to survive the end of the world in 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse. $10-$15, 7:30 p.m. Friday; 4:30 p.m. Sunday; The Guild Theater, 2828 35th Street; (916) 599-2651; www.redbenchentertainment.ws.
