Theater

It’s opening night for The Baltimore School for the Arts’ play “Right You Are” (If You Think You Are) by Luigi Pirandello, performed by the Senior Acting Ensemble.

In an Italian provincial capital, local gossips pry into the lives of a mysterious and unconventional family who has recently moved in next door. Tensions escalate and speculation divides the townspeople and drives them to summon the authorities and uncover the truth. 7 p.m. Wednesday to Friday; 2 p.m. Saturday and Saturday. $5 to $10. The Jada Pinkett Smith Theater, Baltimore School for the Arts, 712 Cathedral St., Baltimore. 410-642-5170; www.bsfa.org.
