Nostalgia as big as the cast's petticoat-plumped skirts is on the bill as Actors' Playhouse kicks off its season with the current Off-Broadway show The Marvelous Wonderettes. Julie Kleiner, Tiana Checchia, Lisa Manuli and Amy Miller Brennan play members of a girl group who sing at their 1958 high school prom, then gather for the 10-year reunion, older and arguably a bit wiser. Dream Lover, Rescue Me, Respect and a host of golden oldies are on the show's playlist. Previews are at 8 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday, and the show opens Oct. 2 for a run through Nov. 1. Performances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday (additional matinee Oct. 7). Tickets are $35 for previews, $48 Friday-Saturday, $40 for other performances (senior and student discounts available except Saturday-Sunday). Actors' Playhouse is at 280 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. 305-444-9293 or www.actorsplayhouse.org.
