Theater Picks, April 3: ‘4000 Miles’ from PlayMakers
Amy Herzog’s highly praised 2011 play, “4000 Miles,” is PlayMakers Repertory Company’s last main stage production of the season.

Both are drifting in their own ways and both find a prickly but increasingly needed bonding over memories and regrets. 7:30 p.m. Apr. 3-4, 7-11 and 14-18; 2 p.m. Apr. 5, 12 and 19. $15-$62. 919-962-7529 or playmakersrep.org.
