In a Nutshell

Passes to three of the four remaining shows of the season, such as Arabian Nights or The Mountaintop

The Fine Print

Going to the theater lets you take in dramatic scenes at a safe distance, much like listening to your neighbors argue about how to pronounce gnocchi. Hide behind the fourth wall with this GrouponLive deal to Central Square Theater. Choose between the following options:

  • For $99, you get a three-play peak subscription for two (a $242 value).
  • For $59, you get a three-play peak subscription for one (a $121 value).

Subscription holders can attend three of the four remaining shows of the 2012–2013 season, running through Sunday, June 2. Doors open one hour before curtain. Tickets are valid for the following showtimes:

  • Friday at 8 p.m.
  • Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
  • Sunday at 2 p.m.

Arabian Nights (Through Sunday, December 30)

Based on One Thousand and One Nights, the celebrated collection of Middle Eastern and Asian folk tales, Arabian Nights brings Scheherazade’s stories to vivid life with prismatic visuals and puppetry. Enacting popular tales from the text, the production intertwines suspense, romance, and comedy.

The Mountaintop (Thursday, January 10–Sunday, February 3)

On April 3, 1968, the eve of his assassination, Martin Luther King Jr. returns to his Memphis motel after delivering his final speech, where he declared, “I’ve been to the mountaintop.” When a maid arrives at his room with coffee, the pair forge an unlikely relationship as they explore topics both political and personal. Described by the Daily Telegraph as “magical, spiritual, and touching,” Katori Hall’s script portrays the reverend as he wrestles with the nation’s future and his own destiny.

Operation Epsilon (Thursday, March 7–Sunday, April 28)

Nearing the close of World War II, the Allies have captured 10 of Germany’s top nuclear scientists, including Otto Hahn and Werner Heisenberg. The group is held under constant surveillance at an opulent English estate, in hopes of discovering the extent of their knowledge about the American nuclear program and Germany’s own progress toward an atomic bomb. Based on the real transcripts of their conversations, the play grapples with the march of scientific progress and its catastrophic risks.

Distracted (Thursday, May 9–Sunday, June 2)

No one can seem to agree on what’s wrong with Jesse, a 9-year-old boy who is constantly in trouble at school. Doctors and school officials offer diagnoses such as attention deficit disorder and environmental toxins, leading to a prescription of Ritalin. But Mama and Dad aren’t sure the pill is the answer to their son’s troubles, and as the other actors seem to lose focus, the production questions the real source of the problem: Jesse or his world.

Central Square Theater

Though Central Square Theater dates back only to 2008, its resident troupes, The Nora Theatre Company and the Underground Railway Theater, predate the building by 20 and 30 years respectively. With two large, diversely talented companies, the theater is able to produce something for all ages, from playful puppet shows for little ones to challenging works for grown-ups, such as Tax Code: The Musical!

The Groupon Guide to: Award-Winning Documentaries

Critics have described this year’s crop of award-winning documentary films as “exciting,” “revelatory,” and “boring in the middle.” Here are the plot summaries for this season’s best documentaries:

  • A man only washes himself with industrial car-wash fluid for an entire year to prove that industrial car-wash fluid is bad for you.

  • A group of preteen world handwriting champions prepare for the greatest challenge yet—signing their own permission slips.

  • A woman who accidentally locked herself in her closet for five years reassimilates to living in the rest of her house.

  • A man who starred in an embarrassing 1980s public-service announcement about the dangers of eating shellfish has his humiliating past dug up by a documentary film crew.

  • A group of people who were born without joints in their toes climbs Mount Kilimanjaro.

  • The terrifying secret about how ice cream is made

  • A bunch of people who did drugs together at an abandoned airplane hangar in the ‘70s get back together to talk about it.

  • One man sets out to expose the problem with the country’s public schools by enrolling his dog in the country’s public schools and seeing if they notice.
