Watching Wynter

Buck Busfield’s original “holiday” play is set in Michigan, where a 30-something, chronically underemployed son (David Pierini) is nagged by his mother (Jayne Taini) to be nice to the quiet girl next door—Wynter (Dana Brooke). She’d rather be abducted by space aliens. It’s a pleasant, busy little show. T 2pm; W 2pm & 6:30pm; Th, F 8pm; Sa 5pm & 9pm; Su 2-pm. Through 12/31. $18-$30.
