This weekend's best bets: Nov. 14
The world premiere of “Pluto” at Actor’s Express is clearly among the best shows thus far this season. I wouldn’t miss it, and only two weeks remain.

Some of the most worthy projects on Atlanta theater’s buffet table this next week likely won’t make headlines. For that reason we recommend “The Exonerated” at the Alliance; “Naked City,” from the PushPush peeps at the Goat Farm; “The Theory of Everything” by the Collective Project, also at the Goat Farm; and Working Title Playwrights’ “WTP Chain Play.” Lots of holiday morsels remain as well.

Happy Thanksgiving! If you have room for culture amid the turkey and stuffing, check out “The Summer of Daisy May” at the new Marietta Theatre (for laughs) or “Wolves” at Actor’s Express (for chill bumps). The holiday show season accelerates with “Aurora’s Christmas Canteen 2012,” the Alliance’s “A Christmas Carol,” “Nuncrackers” at OnStage Atlanta and “The Santaland Diaries” at Horizon.
