The Commons of Pensacola

Amanda Peet has a very pretty face. But the actress is out to prove she’s more than an assemblage of symmetrical features by making her playwriting debut. Manhattan Theatre Club presents this comedy of fractured family, starring Blythe Danner as none too gay divorcee and Sarah Jessica Parker as her difficult daughter.

Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, 2 p.m.; Tuesdays, Wednesdays, 7 p.m.; Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m. Starts: Oct. 23. Continues through Feb. 9, 2013
