SEVEN STORIES BY SEVEN WOMEN

From a third-grader composing her first mash note to a 13-year-old coerced into an affair with her father’s friend, Word Theatre presents seven actresses performing stories by seven female authors in “The Women.” Among others, Amanda Seyfried (“Big Love”) and Dinah Lenney (“ER”) give voice to the work of Dylan Landis and Mary Otis. Think of it as chick lit with a chilled martini. 8 p.m. Fri., M Bar, Hollywood. $20. www.wordtheatre.com
