This solo show is macabre fun. Candy Simmons plays a Southern midwife who wants to have children of her own but has no luck with her husband. If you divorce, you cannot remarry in the church, she tells us, so she does her husband in. Husband No. 2 goes the same route. In fact, she develops a specialty in ushering people into the afterlife. A skilled actor, Simmons plays two other sharply drawn women, but it is that droll midwife, sipping an adult beverage and playing Chopin as she plots murder, that lingers. (5:30 p.m. Wed., 4 p.m. Fri. & 7 p.m. Sat., Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls.)
