Central Ave., Medford. Brazen working-class hairdresser Rita is looking to better herself by registering at a university for English literature classes, while middle-aged, alcoholic academic Frank is looking to pay for his drinks by tutoring her. Ultimately, the pair form an unlikely bond that alters their lives forever. Tickets cost $15 and can be purchased at the box office, 16 S.

Pioneer St., Ashland. A love story set during the Qing Dynasty's rule in 18th-century China, the drama follows an aristocratic family's decline.

The band sounds as though a lap-steel player ate a couple of magic mushrooms and zoned out to Pink Floyd's "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn." The outfit picks up the country-psych tradition on its 2013 "Baba Yaga, and takes it to the uncomfortable corners of our minds. It may not be cheery, but it jams. Admission is $7 in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1299244; or $10 at the door. 'Million Dollar Quartet' Based on a true story, this Tony Award-winning musical tells of the chance meeting of music legends Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis in 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis, Tenn.
