Killer Girls
Whoa, that American Berserk Theatre company, first bringing the world their dystopian blockbuster Subject to Control, then following it with For Time and Eternity (about that whole Joseph-Smith-and-the-Mormons thing), now presenting this pop horror revenge comedy – written and directed by Kaci Beeler – in which five female students on the Fruit Ninja Team of John Wilkes Booth University are invited to a tournament in #grabherbythepussy, Florida, and, ah, well, listen: Payback's a bitch. (A rabid, extremely bloodthirsty bitch, we might add.) Warning note: Gore effects, strobe lights, loud music, themes of high violence and sexual assault, possibly the lamentation of any MRA in the audience. Recommended? See what that Robert Faires has to say about it.Through May 27. Thu.-Sun., 8pm. $20-25.Hideout Studios, 2505 E. Sixth Ste. 3-C -

Polly Mermaid: Apocalypse Wow!
This bright spectacle from Glass Half Full Theatre bangs into existence with Indigo Rael as her alter ego Polly Mermaid, princess of the Pacific Garbage Patch, and Katy Taylor as Deborah Déguderè, the particle physicist who builds a tunnel through space and time. The show – a hero's journey with a feminine twist, a parable for the rights of all creatures big and small, a campy romp through particle theory – is replete with not-for-kiddies puppetry and an original score by Mother Falcon.
