TW o oN THE AISLE $17-$20

The Wingspan Theatre Company presents two plays in one that explore revealing tales of the middle-class American family. “Two on the Aisle: The American Dream and The Sand Box” comes from Edward Albee’s early years as an influential playwright. Written in 1959, “The Sand Box” depicts a materialistic, dysfunctional family followed by the story’s resolution in “The American Dream”, which exposes the hollowness of our country’s most accepted ideals. The show previews Oct. 6 and features post-show discussions Oct. 15 and 22. Bath House Cultural Center, 521 E. Lawther. 214.675.6573 or wingspantheatre.com. —EMILY
