Museum of Dysfunction IV

Relationships are the theme for Museum of Dysfunction IV, this year’s presentation of experimental theater shorts by Mildred’s Umbrella Theater Company. The group had more than 200 submissions from across the country, but only 19 were accepted. Among them is Golden Mareena by Asher Wyndham. Set in a motel room, the play features a cast made up of a woman and a live goldfish. There’s also Cloud Cover by Alexander Maggio, about an armed drifter and a student who bond during a lunar eclipse.

There are two lineups for Museum of Dysfunction IV. Each runs for three performances, with a mixed lineup for one performance. (We suggest seeing each group in its entirety.) 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays. Through December 10. Obsidian Art Space, 3522 White Oak Drive. For a full schedule, call 832-463-0409 or visit www.mildredsumbrella.com. Pay-what-you-can.

Mondays, Thursdays-Saturdays. Starts: Dec. 1. Continues through Dec. 10, 2011
