In a Dark, Dark House

Neil LaBute keeps to his rapid-fire male dialogue, but adds a bit more vulnerability in this play about two brothers who survived an abusive family dynamic. Dan Masden and Ben Moroski are the very different brothers, and Kelly Daniells takes on a dramatic role as the teenager caught up in the whirlpool of the men’s lives. Directed by Alysha S. Krumm. This intense drama is not for children. Th 6/30 8pm, F, Sa 8pm. Through 7/23. $10-$15. Resurrection Theatre at the Three Penny Theatre in the California Stage complex, 1723 25th St.; (916) 838-0618; www.resurrectiontheatre.com.
