Plural marriage, better (and more judgmentally) known as polygamy, is mischievously spoofed, almost to the point of ridicule, in a crowd-pleaser directed by Samantha Baker Harris. "August: Osage County" meets "Big Love" when a husband goes missing and his four wives are left fretting over his whereabouts. Is he out seeking an additional wife or has he abandoned them to pursue the lifestyle of a swinger? Emily Schmidt's script hits and misses but the wives quartet of Harris, Rita Boersma, Shanan Custer and Maureen Tubbs delights with madcap daffiness. (8:30 p.m. Tue., 4 p.m. Fri., 1 p.m. Sun.; Theatre in the Round, 245 Cedar Av., Mpls.)
