THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER
Park Musical It’s easy to see why director Bob Irvin calls this show—back for a second year at the festival “by popular demand”—a guilty pleasure. It revels in rednecky humor, but beneath the grits and homilies lie a tale of deception, infidelity and jealousy—plus music! F, Sa, Su 7:30pm. Through 9/9. $10-$15. Fair Oaks Theatre Festival in the Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre, 7991 California Blvd., Old Fair Oaks; (916) 966-3683; www.fairoakstheatrefestival.com. J.C.

THE MAJESTIC KID
This comedy-of-evolving-expectations contrasts the chivalrous singing cowboys from Hollywood serials (who never marry the “gals” they rescue) with complicated modern relationships, lampooning ranchers (keen to sell and create a toxic dump) and a Native American tribe (planning to turn their reservation into a huge resort/casino). F, Sa 8pm. Through 9/8. $12$17.50, with a $49 family pack (four seats). Main Street Theatre Works in the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre on North Main St. in Jackson; (209) 295-4499; www.mstw.org. J.H.

SEMINAR If writers are like feral cats, this play by Theresa Rebeck proves that the world is their litter box. An extremely well-done play about smart, funny and unpleasant people—which is, we suppose, the very definition of artists.
