North Philly is home to brothers Treat and Phillip in the play Orphans, a black comedy. Treat rolls drunks for money, but one drunk, Harold, is a little more than the brothers expected. Originally a mark for Treat, Harold is really rich and really in trouble. Some bad guys are out to kill him, so he finds refuge with Treat and Phillip. The three form a pseudo-family (not hard, since all three are adult orphans), but the roles are soon so reversed, merged and blurred it becomes more and more difficult to figure out who the adult is in the situation. 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Through May 3. Country Playhouse, 12802 Queensbury. For information, call 713-467-4497 or visit www.countryplayhouse.org. $12.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m. Starts: April 24. Continues through May 9, 2009
