After being canned from his job at Disneyland, struggling actor Alex hits the jackpot when he lands a gig working in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu basement mall—talk about dream job. Alex isn’t the biggest Barbra fan, but when the icon shows up, he can’t help but be charmed. The subterranean emporium (yes, it’s a real thing) sets the stage for Live Arts’ Buyer & Cellar, a laugh-out-loud solo show that explores the price of fame and the value of things. Jack Clifford stars as Alex, among many other characters, in the Jude Hansen-directed production.
Through 4/29. $22-27, times vary. Live Arts Theater, 123 E. Water St. livearts.org
