The beguiling power of a younger woman over older men is conjured in this one-act inspired by Edward Hopper's 1940 painting of a white-collar man behind a desk and a secretary in blue at a file cabinet. Tabitha Kerr uncannily embodies the woman's mystery. A poignant Brandon Holscher plays the man, whom writer/director J.L. Charrier depicts as suffering from midlife crisis and a miserable marriage. His virility is revived when a delivery man (a cocky Penn Bowen) intrudes. (4 p.m. Sat., 5:30 p.m. Wed., 7 p.m. Aug. 8, 2:30 p.m. Aug. 9., Nimbus Theatre, 1517 Central Av. NE., Mpls.)
