Main Street Theatre Works—which stages outdoor summer shows in a lovely amphitheater in the foothills—offers the raucous comedy Mama Won’t Fly, involving an Alabama-California road trip for a wedding, with humorous diversions like a near-fatal visit to an “underwear museum.” Five actors play a host of 20 colorful characters; the cast includes Sacramento stalwarts Kelley Ogden and Janet Motenko. Fri 8pm, Sat 8pm (gates open at 6:30pm). Through July 21; $12-$20; Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre, 1127 N. Main Street in Jackson; mstw.org.
