At the center of the farce Three Bags Full are, you guessed it, three bags. One is filled with money, one with diamonds and one with women’s bloomers. The play runs at breakneck speed, with lots of doors slamming and mistaken identities. There’s a young couple in love (every farce is required by law to have a romantic thread in the storyline), another couple not so much in love, and lots of exasperated, baffled and, while well intentioned, completely ineffective characters buzzing around them. 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Through December 18. The Company OnStage, 536 Westbury Square. For information, call 713-726-1219 or visit www.companyonstage.org. $13 to $15.

Fridays, Saturdays. Starts: Nov. 12. Continues through Dec. 18, 2010
