Madcap Magi

You’ve heard about the three guys who came bearing gifts for the baby Jesus? “The Three (Un)Wise Men’’ has a different tale to tell. In 11:11 Theatre Company’s satire of the Bible story, Balthasar, Malchior, and Caspar look more like the Three Stooges than the majestic Magi. In a quest to find Joseph the carpenter for their own self-serving reasons, the bumbling buffoons encounter obstacles including a leper colony and the burning desert. The world premiere production features John Greene, Danhai Jackson, and Greggory Daniels as the titular trio. 8 p.m. Additional shows through Dec. 19. $17, $12 advance. Factory Theatre, 791 Tremont St., Boston. www.111theatre.com
