Through Sept. 20. $39-$110. Marin Theatre, 397 Miller Ave., Mill Valley. 415-388-5208. www.marintheatre.org Both his writing and his avatar in the play, now in a Marin Theatre production, are just that funny and charming.

Past audiences decked out in corsets, suspenders, hoop skirts, bustles, vests, armbands, overalls, bandanas, tassels, top hats with cards tucked in the band, netted fascinators, bonnets and more.
