CRITIC’S PICK
Thu., Oct. 8 — Mon., Nov. 16
Like Father, Alliance — The Alliance is premiering a new musical by Jacob Ryan Smith and Caroline Pernick that depicts the vagaries of a family caught up in the country’s obsession with true-crime stories. Chris, a girl of 17, moves in with her estranged mother after her father is arrested; the family’s torrid past is then exposed by a podcast leading to more questions than answers. Director Tinashe Kajese-Bolden says the show has elements of “ferocious musicality and emotional vulnerability, razor-sharp humor and real danger.” — Kevin C. Madigan
