Tickets are $45; previews are $25. www.floridarep.org. FIRST DATE Thru Mar 7 In the Off Broadway second venue at Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, a blind date over a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious, high-stakes dinner. This cheeky new Broadway musical unfolds in real time, and the couple discovers they are not alone during the unpredictable evening. Tickets, $31-$51 for adults, $24 for children ages 12 and younger. Performances are Tuesday through Sunday evenings with selected matinees. www.broadwaypalm.com. Thru Mar 7 THE FOURTH WALL Thru Feb 21 Peggy has redecorated the living room and her husband, Roger, can’t stand it. Her usually exquisite taste was overcome by a mysterious lapse that caused her to redo the room as if it were a stage set. Everything faces one wall, the “fourth wall,” which she’s left bare — and which is really the audience. See it at BIG ARTS Herb Strauss Theater Tuesdays-Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 4 PM. Tickets are $42. Student and children are $5. www.bigarts.org. Thru Feb 21 JOURNEY TO OZ Thru May 9 Transported to the magical Land of Oz, Dorothy and Toto must find the Wizard before it’s too late. This all-new, interactive adaptation for children puts attendees in the middle of the action as Dorothy and her friends find the brains, heart, and courage they never knew they had. $12 admission includes the performance, lunch and workshop with the actors. Select dates at Florida Repertory Theater in Fort Myers. www.floridarepeducation.org.
