South Pacific
You may associate the musical South Pacific with WWII nostalgia. But when Navy officer Lt. Cable considers marriage to a Polynesian woman in this play, interracial marriage was illegal in many states (including California). This thoughtful production is mostly about white Americans reconsidering their assumptions about life and love as they find romance abroad. Thu 7pm, Fri 2pm, Sat 2pm, Sun 2pm, some performances sold out, Through 5/5; $25-$30; Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra (CATS) at Nevada Theatre, 401 Broad St. in Nevada City; www.CatsWeb.org.
