“Corpus Christi” – “We are going to tell you an old and familiar story.” But from that point on, nothing feels quite familiar again.

Showtimes are 7 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Through Feb. 6. Stage Left, 108 W. Third Ave. $25. (509) 838-9727.

Friday and Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m. Spokane Civic Theatre, 1020 N. Howard St. $35 adult; $30 senior and military; $10 student. (509) 325-2507.
