This week, the Unicorn Theatre stages a hit Off-Broadway play that could be one of the darkest plays in its history; a contemporary dance performance called Quixotic takes over the ground floor of the Boley, an Urban Culture Project space; and this year, the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival presents a romantic comedy. KCUR?s Steve Walker and Laura Spencer report.
