A Steady Rain

Steppenwolf Theatre co-founder Jeff Perry (Scandal) directs the Los Angeles premiere of a riveting drama by Keith Huff (Mad Men, House of Cards) that will have audiences on the edge of their seats. Filled with sharp storytelling and biting repartee, A Steady Rain is a gritty, darkly poetic duologue about two Chicago police officers whose inner need to serve and protect consumes them — and also rips them apart. Their lifelong friendship is put to the test when a deadly error of judgment sends their lives spinning out of control. Feb. 22-April 20; Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90025; $25-$30; 310-477-2055 ext 2; www.OdysseyTheatre.com
