So many things to see. Where to start?

It’s about a man whose daughter’s illness triggers a flood of memories from his Bronx childhood. It opens this weekend and runs through March 2nd, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 and Sundays at 2. Tickets are $15. (845-424-3900) (Photo by George Petkanas)

The Schoolhouse Theater’s excellent production has transferred from Croton Falls to the Arclight Theater on West 71st Street in Manhattan for a four-week run. Tickets are $40, $35 for students and seniors. (212-352-3101 or www.TheaterMania.com.) (Photo by Ron Marotta)

Starting next Thursday, you can check out “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,� the next offering at Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford. The musical stars Pat McRoberts as the rocker from Lubbock, Texas whose death Don McLean called “the day the music died.� “Buddy� runs through April 19th. Tickets are $60 to $73 with a meal.

Maybe murder’s your thing. If so, consider taking in the last weekend of the wickedly funny show “Murderers� at Mamaroneck’s Emelin Theater. Three actors, three monologues and a body count to rival “The Sopranos.� (914-698-0098 or www.emelin.org) (Photo by Adrien Goulet)

We'll have audition notices, casting notices, mini-reviews and plenty of ideas to fill a theater junkie's to-do list.
