THEATER 

WHAT:  “A Kid Like Jake”

WHEN:   Through Nov. 16

WHERE:  Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, 130 Edgar Rd, Webster Groves

HOW MUCH:  $42-$65

The 411:  Alexandra and Greg are stressed. Test scores, campus visits and entrance interviews for their son are almost too much to handle. Especially since this prep isn’t for college, it’s just part of the process of winning a place in one of Manhattan’s exclusive kindergarten programs. Four-year-old Jake’s intelligence has him in the running for a top school, but when the focus turns to his imagination and affection for dress-up, acceptance takes on a whole new meaning.

WHERE:  Edison Theatre at Washington University, 6445 Forsyth Boulevard, Clayton

HOW MUCH:  $20-$36

The 411:   “This American Life” host Ira Glass, with Monica Bill Barnes & Company have invented a new show that combines two art forms that – as Glass puts it — “have no business being together-dance and radio.” So what happens when you take one art form that is all words and no visuals and combine it with another art form that is all visuals and no words? You get a funny, lively and talky evening of dance and story.
