“[TITLE OF SHOW]” returns to Trustus Theatre’s main stage after a holiday break. The musical comedy took its name from a space on a theater application form.

The musical, which stars Kevin Bush, Matthew DeGuire, Robin Gottlieb and Laurel Posey, is about two struggling writers who scramble to meet a submission deadline for a musical theater festival. It runs through Jan. 12. Showtimes: 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Trustus is at 520 Lady St. $20-$27; (803) 254-9732 or www.trustus.org
