The Outsider

March 12-15. The Outsider is a razor-sharp, hilarious satire of modern American politics and an inspirational tribute to democracy. Overflowing with clever plot twists portraying the contemporary political climate, Paul Slade Smith’s play is a fun-house mirror, held up to reflect our often confounding governmental system. If you’re overwhelmed by today’s headlines, this thoroughly non-partisan laugh-fest is just what you need. Through March 22. North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite D, Solana Beach. Tickets

House of Joy

March 12-15. Set in the 17th century in a place like Delhi, India, House of Joy spins the tale of Hamida, an elite female bodyguard in the Emperor’s Imperial Harem. When faced with an impossible ethical quandary, Hamida goes against everything she believes and risks her life to help abused Queen Mariyam escape the heavily guarded harem. Inspired by the epic legends of Indian history, Shekar presents a swashbuckling action-adventure romance centered on strong women who battle each other as well as a world in danger of entering their sacred space. Through March 29. San Diego Repertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego. sdrep.org
