Cyrano de Bergerac

Is it a comedy? A period costume drama? A swashbuckling adventure? A story of courtship and unrequited love? This take on the classic is all of these—above all, it’s a lot of fun to watch. Local pro Matt Edwards gives a lively performance (with sparkling swordplay and verbal fireworks) in the title role. Th 8pm., Sa 8pm, Su 2 pm. Through 7/31. $15-$25.
