LEWISTON — The Public Theatre will present “Human Error,” a timely and provocative new comedy, for eight performances beginning Jan. 25.

Eric Pfeffinger wrote the tale of a blundering fertility doctor mistakenly implanting the embryo of a latte-sipping liberal couple into the womb of a NRA-cardholding conservative family. It’s an outrageously funny nine months as both couples attempt to become friends for the good of the child.

Performances are scheduled:

• Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25 and 26, 7:30 p.m.;

• Sunday, Jan. 27, 2 p.m.;

• Thursday and Friday, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, 7:30 p.m.;

• Saturday, Feb. 2, 3 and 7:30 p.m.; and

• Sunday, Feb. 3, 2 p.m.

Tickets are $20 for adults; $17 each for groups of 10 or more; and $5 each for those 18 and younger.

The theater is at 31 Maple St. and can be contacted at 207-782-3200.

An opening night BREWHaHa will be held at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25, for free beer sampling.

Post Show Talkback with actors is set for Sunday, Jan. 27.

Wine Down Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 31, offers free wine sampling.
