STEVE DUNKELBERGER: THEATER PICKS >>>

Harlequin Productions is set to end its run of “Under a Mantle of Stars,” a play about a journey between reality and insanity found in the living room in a distant mansion. It is the “Twilight Zone” meets “Dragnet,” but don’t expect to get it when you leave the theater. This show doesn’t work that way.
[State Theater, through Feb. 10, 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, $24-$33, 202 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia, 360-786-0151]

Ending its run at Olympia Little Theatre is “Moonlight and Magnolias,” the fictionalized version of the writing of “Gone with the Wind.”
[Olympia Little Theatre, through Feb. 10, 7:55 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 1:55 p.m. Sunday, $10-$12, 1925 Miller Ave. N.E., Olympia, 360.786.9484]

Rounding out the shows in Olympia this week is “Six Women with Brain Death or Expiring Minds Want to Know,” a look at the world through the scattered minds of a gaggle of women singing a musical revue.
[Capital Playhouse, through Feb. 16, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, $21-$33, 612 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia, 360.943.2744]
