Tonight The Stranger suggests:

‘Mitzi’s Abortion’
(THEATER) I haven’t seen the production, but I’ve read the world-premiere script by local playwright Elizabeth Heffron, and it’s subtler, lighter, and funnier than the title indicates. The play features a 22-year-old Army bride, an Esperanto club, and Thomas Aquinas, the Catholic saint and theologian, whose theory of “delayed ensoulment,” once accepted as church doctrine, means a fetus isn’t human until the second trimester. Whatever your politics are, Mitzi’s Abortion will complicate them. (ACT Theatre, 700 Union Ave, 292-7676. 7:30 pm, $10—$54. Through Aug 20.) BRENDAN KILEY
