FRAT, The New Colony at Dank-Haus, through April 4. Evan Linder's fraternity rush play may be fairly conventional, but Andrew Hobgood's environmental staging of the show makes it all a raucous eavesdropping experience. SCM
Our Lady of the Underpass, Teatro Vista at Greenhouse, through March 29. Like peeling onions, Tanya Sarracho reveals the inner cores of six souls in her brilliant monologs about faith and more, inspired by an iconic image at a Chicago viaduct. JA
Rose and the Rime, House Theatre of Chicago at Chopin Theatre, through April 11. The House may be out in the snow for now, but it still has magic up its sleeve—not to mention the charismatic Carolyn Defrin—to delight the most jaded home-town audiences. MSB
Wait Until Dark, Court Theatre, through April 5. Who's afraid of the dark? You will be watching a blind woman battling a stone-cold sociopath and his thugs over a doll stuffed with heroin. Director Ron OJ Parson packs Frederick Knott's deliciously suspenseful noir with more twisty thrills than a roller-coaster. CS
