Constellation Theatre Company, which recently did "The Good Woman of Setzuan" and "The Oresteia" at Clark Street Playhouse, is now ensconced at the renovated Source Theatre as a resident company. For details, go tohttp://www.constellationtheatre.org.

Its first show of the season will be "Temptation" (Oct. 9-Nov. 9), a dark comedy by legendary Czech playwright (and first president of the Czech Republic) Vaclav Havel, involving a demon, a dancer, a secret messenger and a team of scientists.

Not the opera but the play

"The Marriage of Figaro" (Jan. 22-Feb. 22) by Beaumarchais, will become "a physical comedy about class" in Constellation's hands.

"Crazyface" (May 14-June 21) by horrormeister Clive Barker is about a lost soul trying to escape an evil angel and encountering all sorts of odd characters along the way.
