Through July 2
‘Animal Crackers’
From 1928, Mad Cow Theatre brings us the crazy, laugh-out-loud Marx Brothers musical-comedy, “Animal Crackers.” Low-brow humor rules as “Animal Crackers” takes us into Margaret Dumont’s dignified weekend party, only to see it made more interesting by Groucho and other questionable guests. Dignity is banished in this farce that recalls how much fun it can be to poke fun at pretension. Fun Fact: The script includes No. 53 of AFI’s Greatest Movie Quotes of All Time. Call (407) 297-8788 or visit madcowtheatre.com.
Through July 9
David Hare’s ‘Skylight’

After the affair, feelings of betrayal and guilt send lovers Kyra and Tom in opposite directions. Eventually Tom (and his son) confront Kyra for an ending that is both “thrilling and dangerous.” At the Mad Cow Theatre in Orlando. Call (407) 297-8788 or visit madcowtheatre.com.
