Theatre Confetti — a new project by Nice People Theatre Company cofounder Nicole Paloux and actress Bi Jean Ngo — boasts a great cast in its first full production: Ngo (Horizon’s An Infinite Ache), Steve Pacek (11th Hour Theatre Company cofounder, Barrymore winner) and Justin Jain (cofounder of the Beserker Residents), directed by five-time Barrymore winner Aaron Cromie. Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them, A. Rey Pamatmat’s 2011 Humana Festival hit, is a timely drama about adolescence, homosexuality and abandonment, with Ngo and Jain as teenage Filipino siblings surviving in remotest Middle America and Pacek as the boy’s first love. As Nice People did so well with Grace, or the Art of Climbing in 2009, Theatre Confetti creates an earthy environmental production in the Power Plant’s eerie basement.
March 8-24, $15-$30, The Power Plant, 233 N. Bread St., 267-909-3309, theatreconfetti.com.
