George M. The Radcliffe Grant-in-Aid's production of the Joel Grey Broadway hit about the life of entertainer George M. Cohan. The music includes such standards as "Give My Regards to Broadway" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Get tickets early, or not at all, since the Agassiz's peculiar seating makes late ticket-buyers liable to neckstrain. At the Agassiz, November 6-8, 13-15, 20-22 at 8 p.m. Tickets $3.50 and $3, $2 for students.
Habeas Corpus. Subtitled "A Tale of the Permissive Society," it is a comic courtroom drama. The cast includes June Havoc, Celeste Holm, Jean Marsh, Rachel Roberts and Donald Sinden.

The Mousetrap. The Leverett House Arts Society's production of an Agatha Christie murder mystery about eight people snow-bound in a manor house. Check it out if you haven't caught it in London yet, where it's been running continuously for the last 23 years or so. Directed by Evangeline Morphos, who did Arms and the Man at the Loeb last year. Performances in the Leverett House Old Library Theater October 30 and 31, and November 1,2, 5-8, at 8 p.m. Special Halloween performance at midnight.
The Tempest. Performed by the Boston Shakespeare Company at the corner of Berkeley and Marlborough Streets in Boston, October 30-November 1 at 8 p.m.
The Tutor. A mediocre production of a mediocre play by Bertoldt Brecht, based on an 18th century work by Jacob Lenz. The hapless tutor, who has to castrate himself to keep his job, is supposed to represent intellectuals in Nazi Germany who kowtowed to Hitler. The play has the benefit of professional direction by Jurgen Flimm of the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg, Germany, but even he can't depetrify characters and dialogue as wooden as these. If you go, drink lots of coffee first. Recommended only for those who have friends in the cast. At the Loeb, October 29-November 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets $3.50 and $3.
