‘El Grande de Coca-Cola’ at Ruskin Group Theatre

Prolifically produced for almost 40 years, “El Grande de Coca-Cola” has been directed by Alan Shearman and starred Ron House since its inception. Formerly two acts, the play has been judiciously pared to a breezy 75 minutes — and the comic momentum never flags. Wearing a hairpiece that looks like a small animal in distress, House is the linchpin of a superlative, marvelously agile cast. Ruskin Group Theatre, 3000 Airport Road, Santa Monica. 8 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays. Ends Aug. 31. $25. (310) 397-3244. https://www.ruskingrouptheatre.com.
