‘Rabbit Hole’ and ‘Oleanna’ at Tacoma Little Theatre

There’s a wealth of good theater that just doesn’t get produced, so Tacoma Little Theatre is bringing some of it to life Oct. 29 with “Off the Shelf,” a series of readings that kicks off this year with David Mamet’s “Oleanna,” a script that questions who’s right in sexual harassment. 7:30 p.m. Oct. 29. $10, free for members. Meanwhile, on their main stage, Suzy Wilhoft directs the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Rabbit Hole,” about a couple whose life changes when their young son is killed by a car. 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays, from Friday (Oct. 23)-Nov. 8. $24 adults; $22 seniors, students, military; and $20 ages 12 and younger.
