January Theater Calendar for Delaware: Arts and Entertainment

Kathleen Madigan Jan. 11
When Lewis Black calls someone “the funniest woman in America,” you should pay attention. The stand-up favorite brings her trademark snarky, off-beat humor to the stage. The Grand Opera House, 818 N. Market St., Wilmington, 652-5577, thegrandwilmington.org

What’s a 1960s Parisian playboy to do when his three flight attendant fiancées start to think something isn’t flying right? Find out in this French farce, which won the 2008 Tony Award. Delaware Theatre Company, 200 Water St., Wilmington, 594-1100, delawaretheatre.org

The Producers Jan. 25-March 17

Flashdance Jan. 29-31
