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. Worth checking out: Fern Theatre’s all-female “Macbeth”; “Phone Whore,” brought to you by the Atlanta Fringe Festival; and the final performance of Out of Hand’s “Salome.” And don’t look now, but here come the Christmas shows.
