Near: Two 20th-century icons will share a stage when Warhol Capote debuts at the American Repertory Theater’s Loeb Drama Center. The play recreates recorded conversations between Andy Warhol and Truman Capote in the late 1970s, when the two were trying to create a Broadway play. Rob Roth adapted the long-lost tapes into a drama, and Tony winner Michael Mayer will direct the world premiere production, which opens in early September. amrep.org

Far: Gloucester Stage founding artistic director Israel Horovitz’s Out of the Mouths of Babes stops in Gloucester for its New England premiere between runs in New York and London. The Obie-winning playwright tells the story of four women who arrive at the Paris funeral of a 100-year-old man whom they all loved at times during his life. The comedy runs Aug. 11-Sept. 2. gloucesterstage.com

Farther: Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow is not a summary of the nightly news, but one of seven plays in the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s stellar two-month season. Obie winner Trip Cullman directs Halley Feiffer’s contemporary adaptation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters. Playing July 26-Aug. 6, the world premiere comedy puts a millennial spin on the lives of the three women longing for Moscow while searching for meaning in life and work. wtfestival.org
