“Pru Payne” at the Herberger Theatre
Written by Pulitzer Prize Nominee Steven Drukman, this ATC world premier is a remarkable, funny and life-affirming story about the relationship between a mother and son. An esteemed critic, Prudence “Pru” Payne is widely recognized as a wit, a scholar and a public intellectual; her son Thomas lives in that shadow. But as her memory begins to fade, all her preconceived notions — about herself and, more importantly, others. 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $25. 222 E. Monroe St. Phoenix, AZ; herbergertheatre.org // @herbergertheatre

The Women of the Provincetown Players at Phoenix Center for the Arts
The Women of the Provincetown Players celebrates early American women playwrights and the Little Theatre Movement — both of which were major influences on the creation of community theaters in the United States. These four short works represent a variety of themes and genres and are all still relevant today, over 100 years from when they initially premiered. 7 p.m. Free. 1202 N. 3rd St. Phoenix, AZ; dtphx.org // @downtownphoenix
