Sunset Boulevard, Kelsey Theatre, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor. Change has not come easily for silent film star Norma Desmond. In a mesmerizing homage to early Hollywood and the era of silent films, Playful Theatre Productions presents the Tony Award-winning “Sunset Boulevard” at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) Kelsey Theatre. Surrounded by the trappings of stardom long since faded, Desmond is still hoping to make her “return” to the big screen. In fact, she has written a painfully long screenplay in a desperate attempt to revive her career. Enter struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis, who accidentally stumbles onto Norma’s property, and she quickly sees an opportunity. The drama gradually gets darker as Gillis discovers this wounded star is one whom you won’t walk away from unscathed. 609-570-3333, www.kelseytheatre.net, $20. Through April 14.

When the main attraction doesn’t show up, Pete enlists the kids to help create a comedy show from set to sound, plot to props, and costumes to characters. What could possibly go wrong? This entirely unique, improvised family show for kids 3-10 years old puts a comedic twist on the traditional kids’ show. https://tickets.hopewelltheater.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=175

Nellie McKay, Hopewell Theater, 5 S. Greenwood Ave., Hopewell. Conjuring the image of a lonely all night truck stop along Highway 1 on the California coast, all but lost in the fog that comes creeping along the shoreline...this album speaks of the night, the outsider, the plaintive wail of those lost at sea. Sister Orchid was conceived in solitude, executed in darkness. It comes from a place of quiet, a world of low lights and cool drinks, up against a hard wall. https://tickets.hopewelltheater.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=131&utm_source=ccweekly
