Nov. 19–22. Halena Kays directs drama students in Moisés Kaufman’s award-winning 1997 play that chronicles the swift and tragic downfall of the famous Irish playwright. Wilde sued the Marquess of Queensberry in 1895 for criminal libel after the Marquess called him a “posing sodomite.” This lawsuit backfired on Wilde, resulting in two additional trials to determine whether he was guilty of “gross indecency with male persons.” Recommended for ages 16 & up. 7:30 p.m. (Thurs.), 8 p.m. (Fri. & Sat.), & 2 p.m. (Sun.), Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, 911 North University.

Nov. 18–22. New York City cult favorite Zach Zucker, a French-trained comedic performer known for blending clowning with satire, appears as Tucker, a dim, delusional, and overconfident hack stand-up whose desperate need to be adored drives him to the brink of comedy chaos. With an absurdist sound design fueling the unraveling, the result is a “raucously funny” “triumph” according to the New York Times reviewer, who says “not since The Play That Goes Wrong have I seen mistakes this meticulous.” Age 14 & up. 7:30 p.m. (Wed.–Sat.) & 2 p.m. (Sun.), Arthur Miller Theatre, 1226 Murfin. $36–$46 (students, $15–$20). (734) 764–2538, ums.org.
