It is usually considered a bad sign when you go to the theater and hear hissing, but in this case it’ll be coming from onstage, not the audience. Playwright Carson Kreitzer’s new work, getting its world premiere in this production by Eye of the Storm, interweaves the stories of four women throughout history who all share a connection with snakes. Eve, a Cretan snake princess, a carny snake dancer, and a snake-handling minister take us through the human fascination with serpents, and woman’s link with these creatures, for good and evil. After an outstanding 12-year history, this will be the last go-round for Eye of the Storm, as director and creative force Casey Stangl moves on to other pastures. That’s the kind of news that stings sharper than a serpent’s tooth. Theater Garage, 711 W. Franklin Ave. (612) 343-3390, www.ticketworks.com
