IAMA Theatre Company opens its 2018-19 season with the L.A. premiere of Bess Wohl’s darkly comic celebration of the power of teamwork and unity to overcome adversity. At a toasted subs franchise in the local mall, three up-and-coming “sandwich artists” — an awkward young misfit, a single mom and a downsized refugee from corporate banking — are perfecting the mustard-to-cheese ratio according to the company manual. But when their shot at the American dream is interrupted by a series of strange events, they must become unlikely allies in a post-recession world. Sept. 21 thru Oct.21: Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 7 p.m. IAMA Theatre Company in a Pasadena Playhouse guest production at the Carrie Hamilton Theatre Theatre, 39 S. El Molino Ave., Pasadena CA 91101; $30; 323-380-8843; iamatheatre.com
