1. Michael Esper & Co. (Playwrights Horizons) Today is your last chance to see the ace cast of the terrifically mean-streaked “Assistance.”
2. “The Maids” (Theatre at St. Clement’s) Jean Genet’s 1947 classic French thriller comes courtesy of the ever-adventurous Red Bull Theater.
3. “An Iliad” (New York Theatre Workshop) It’s a story of war and remembrance well-told by the show’s co-writer Denis O’Hare and Stephen Spinella, who alternate the role of narrator.
4. “Newsies” (Nederlander Theatre) How to turn a Disney dud movie into a delightful stage musical? The production, starting Thursday, shows you how.
5. Drama Book Shop (250 W. 40th St.) The invaluable theater resource offers an in-store chat with “Other Desert Cities” writer Jon Robin Baitz on March 15.
6. Linda Lavin. The drop-dead funny actress who returns to Broadway next month in “The Lyons” gets feted on March 12 at the Vineyard Theatre, where the Nicky Silver comedy ran last year.
7. End Stage (480 W. 42nd St.) After a Goldlilocks-like trek through Signature Center’s three theaters, this airy home to “The Lady from Dubuque” is just right.
8. “Tribes” (Barrow Street Theatre). A beautifully acted, directed and designed production of Nina Raine’s drama about a deaf man, an outsider in his own family.
9. Elizabeth Marvel (Booth Theatre). She’s back in the role she originated in “Other Desert Cities,” playing a writer whose memoir shakes up her family.
10. The logo for “Once” (Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre). Star Steve Kazee likes the charming drawing of a guitar so much he’s considering get a tattoo of it.
