From Stoppard to scarecrows, we’ve got the rundown on what’s opening around town this May.

We’ll start with the Stoppard. No, not the still playing Rock N Roll over at Studio, but rather Folger Theatre’s production of Arcadia (May 5).

Arena Stage’s feeling pretty enlightened – well, at least, enough to stage a play that takes place during the Age of it: Legacy of Light (May 8).

The Mona Lisa is the subject of laughs and intrigue in the latest from Theater Alliance,The Woman Who Amuses Herself (May 16).

Rorschach Theatre’s back – and so is the thought-provoking playwright Jason Grote. The company kicks off its second season “in exile” with 1001 (May 31).

Shakespeare Theatre gets classy with Noel Coward’s Design For Living (May 12).

It’s all about angels in Constellation Theatre Company’s Crazyface (May 21).

Don’t call ’em geezers: original stars Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal star in the touring production of Rent making a cameo at the Warner (May 26).

New York and insomnia come together for A Sleeping Country at Round House (May 27).
