Auntie Mame is one of those episodic 1950s comedies filled with the sort of light laughs we don’t see much of anymore. Thankfully, Stages Repertory Theatre has come to our rescue with a new production of the madcap romp. The story features an orphan boy and his adventures with his eccentric aunt. Fifteen actors play more than 45 characters as they tell the story about how the pair breaks the bonds of conventionality and lives free. 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays, 3 and 8 p.m. Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays. Through October 10. 3201 Allen Parkway. For information, call 713-527-0123 or visit www.stagestheatre.com. $21.
Wednesdays-Sundays. Starts: Sept. 15. Continues through Oct. 17, 2010
