THIS WEEK
Crane: Mina Morita directs the Ferocious Lotus Theatre Company world premiere of JC Lee’s drama, blending ancient Japanese myth with a modern world of greed and materialism. Creative integrity collides with commercial success when, in the dead of winter, the mysterious Sadako (Monica Ho, above) stumbles into the mountain cabin of failing artist Bradley (Greg Ayers). 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, 5 p.m. Sundays. Through Oct. 11. $15-$35. Noh Space, 2840 Mariposa St., S.F. (415) 322-0859. www.ferociouslotus.org.
