Despite the title The Blonde, The Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead, actress Susan O. Koozin actually plays seven, not three, different characters in her one-woman show about to start up at Stages Repertory Theatre. She also transforms from one character to another right in front of the audience – including wig and costume changes. “There’s a curtain that’s sheer and I’ll go behind it,” she says. She starts with homemaker Rhonda, who goes crazy at a local mall, and the play unfolds from there. 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 3 p.m. Sundays. Through October 30. 3201 Allen Parkway. For information, call 713-527-0123 or visit www.stagestheatre.com. $19 to $59.

Wednesdays-Saturdays. Starts: Oct. 5. Continues through Oct. 30, 2011
