Go to Sleep? 'What's a Girl to Do When It's Time to Put Down the Drink?'

Tara Handron THIS WEEK: It's about a disease, so don't expect a laugh riot. But "What's a Girl to Do When It's Time to Put Down the Drink," a one-woman show consisting of monologues about different aspects of alcoholism in women, manages to bring a wry humor to enough of its content that the evening doesn't turn into a "Leaving Las Vegas"-style smorgasbord of depression that will leave you sitting alone in your apartment thinking darkly about all the misery in the world. Tara Handron, a grad student at Georgetown University, wrote and performs this collection of characters, displaying consummate technique and a nice touch with character.

» H Street Playhouse, 1365 H St. NE; Mon.-Wed., Feb. 23-25, $25; 202-396-0050.
