NOW PLAYING
"Third"
Graham Hamilton's performance is the best reason to see the Huntington Theatre Company's production of Wendy Wasserstein's last play. As Woodson Bull III, or "Third," Hamilton (above) animates an assortment of funny but cliched confrontations between a feminist professor and her conservative student. Through Feb. 3. 617-266-0800, huntington theatre.org
