7Days: Regional arts and entertainment, by Michael Harrington

Sunday Beauty of the beast David Hirson's 1991 comedy La Bête is an inventive and wry look at theatrical craft, all in rhyming couplets, in which a fancy-pants producer in 17th-century France finds himself challenged when his royal patron foists a foppish, vulgar street clown upon his troupe. The show goes on at 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday at the Arden Theatre, 20 N. Second St., and continues on a Tuesday-through-Sunday schedule to Oct. 12. Tickets are $36 to $50. Call 215-922-1122.
