Wonder of the World

This absurd comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire starts out as a road trip and morphs into a weird fusion of caper and romantic comedy, but it’s not one of his stronger efforts. Big Idea does a creditable job with it anyway, with Shannon Mahoney as Cass, a woman leaving her husband to find meaning in life (with a loooong to-do list). Also features Beth Edwards, Jouni Kirjola, Justin Muñoz, Blair Leatherwood, Susan Madden and, in hilarious multiple roles, Laura Kaya. F, Sa 8pm; Su 2:30pm. Through 9/3. $13-$15. Big Idea Theatre, 1616 Del Paso Blvd.; (916) 960-3036; www.bigideatheatre.com.
