Sweet Charity

Runaway Stage Productions’ depiction of a hapless dance-hall hostess looking for love in the big city is a bright, lighthearted portrayal of love gone awry in a shiny, ’60s mod-art package. Charity (Amber Jean Moore) is plucky and sweet, with a hopeful resilience. F, Sa 8pm, Su 2pm. Through 8/2. $15.
