5. Night of ‘Laughter’

The Magenta Theater is offering a one-night-only performance of Noel Coward’s World War II-era comedy, “Present Laughter,” at 7:30 p.m. April 27, at 1108 Main St., Vancouver. The play follows aging matinee idol Garry Essendine, scorned by his estranged wife and pursued by an endless stream of infatuated debutantes and femme fatales, much to the dismay of his personal secretary, Monica, and his faithful valet, Fred — a wickedly funny encapsulation of the time’s changing social norms. Tickets are $12 at the door or $10 in advance, available at www.magentatheater.com or by calling 360-635-4358.
