Neil Simon’s comedy, based on the Jewish fable “The Wise Men of Chelm,” is a zany romp set in a 19th century Russian village where stupidity is a way of life, thanks to an ancient curse. Jay Edward Anthony, left, plays Count Gregor, who lords it over his dimwitted subjects. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m. Ends March 2. $15.
