STEVE DUNKELBERGER: THEATER THURSDAY >>>

My Fair Lady
My Fair Lady is ending its run at the Encore! Theater. This classic musical about the battle between nature and nurture is presented on the always entertaining open-air stage at Gig Harbor. The play deals with the transformation of Eliza Doolittle at the hands of Professor Harry Higgins, who takes her under his wing in an effort to transform her into a lady. Bring a picnic dinner, beach chairs and blankets to watch this fun show with some of the best music the genre has to offer.
[Impact Church International, My Fair Lady, through Aug. 31, 7 p.m. Thursday-Sunday, $6-$15, 4819 Hunt St., Gig Harbor, 253.858.2282]

Shrek: the Musical
Shrek: the Musical at the Fifth Avenue Theatre is another option for your theater dollar. This Broadway-bound show is exactly what you would expect. It has the usual line of characters but a new story and original music.
[Fifth Avenue Theatre, through Sept. 21, downtown Seattle]
