If you’re a big fan of Clueless (1995), or Emma (1996), or even EMMA (2020), you’ll want to check out Kate Hamill’s latest adaptation of the Jane Austen classic before closing weekend. Ella Caplin shines in Live Arts’ Emma as a mischievous matchmaker who plots romantic entanglements and learns a little bit about life and love along the way. Hamill’s fast-paced adaptation employs physical comedy and playful staging while highlighting feminist undercurrents and emotional depth, bringing the wit and charm of the source material center stage. $25–30, times vary. Live Arts, 123 E. Water St. livearts.org
