In Andy Rakerd's play, mystery man Charlie (Nick James) walks into a bar where Matthew (Jordan Solei) is having a drink. Charlie says he's a mind-reader and can make Matt buy him a drink in three minutes. Matt accepts the challenge, and the action unspools with strangeness and surprises. Featuring Kaitlyn Pommrehn as an English teacher and a waitress, it's a middling work, but clever and thought-provoking. (4 p.m. Sat., 7 p.m. Mon., 7 p.m. Fri., 5:30 p.m. next Sun.; Rarig Xperimental, 330 21st Av. S., Mpls.)
