"Eurydice"
Sensitive direction, lively acting, and inventive design beautifully render Sarah Ruhl's delicate, heartbreaking reimagining of the Orpheus myth. Rick Lombardo's production for New Rep closes today at Watertown's Arsenal Center for the Arts. 617-923-8487, www.newrep.org.
"A Chorus Line"
What's remarkable is how fresh Michael Bennett's musical still feels, even in a touring production that's short on star power but long on precise, invigorating ensemble work. Closes today at the Opera House. 617-931-2787, www.broadwayacrossamerica.com.
"How Shakespeare Won the West"
Engaging, energetic, and in love with storytelling, the world premiere of Richard Nelson's play about a traveling troupe of actors during the Gold Rush marks an auspicious start to Peter DuBois's tenure at the Huntington Theatre Company. Closes today on the Boston University stage. 617-266-0800, www.huntingtontheatre.org — Louise Kennedy
