Stage Pick

In A. Rey Pamatmat’s ‘Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them,’ an abandoned brother and sister find a way to cope and forge a family of their own. Teresa Avia Lim played Edith in the play’s world premiere at the Humana Festival of New American plays, and now another production opens Friday at 8 p.m. at New Theatre, 4120 Laguna St., Coral Gables, with the playwright in attendance. There’s a bit of nostalgia surrounding this particular opening: This will be the final production at the company’s Laguna Street theater before it moves to a still-undetermined new home in 2012. Performances are 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 1 and 5:30 p.m. Sunday (no late show this Sunday). Tickets are $40 Friday-Saturday and Sunday matinee, $35 other shows (student rush tickets $15, based on availability). Call 305-443-5909 or visit www.new-theatre.org.
