Two plays!

There's Agnes of God[1], a noir play about a murder in a convent. Beautifully minimal set, intoxicating mood, and only three actors, including Pinky Amador.

1: http://kojiarsua.com/2017/02/24/agnes-of-god-brings-noir-to-the-stage-with-a-murder-mystery/

Then Caredivas[2] is back! Funnier the second time around. It's about five gay caregivers in Israel who moonlight as drag queens at night.

Repertory Philippines is staging In the Next Room or the Vibrator Play, a play set in the Victorian era when the vibrator was invented (for medical use, okay). It's a sex comedy, but it has a lot of heart, too.

Yes, it's slightly raunchy.
