You don’t need to be familiar with the works of the absinthe-guzzling French avant-gardist Alfred Jarry to enjoy this earnest and resourceful play.

The production takes the form of a haunted tour through the narrow passageways and stairwells of the Universalist National Memorial Church.

Spooky Action’s THE WEDDING DRESS, directed by Rebecca Holderness, brings a strong sense of surrealism to this psychological thriller.

It’s encouraging that small theater companies around the city are doing some challenging, interesting productions.
