I haven't been able to go to theatre recently, and I won't be able to really start catching up until mid-may. However, I have a day off soon and I want to see a show that's closing. The ones one my list right now are the 3 mentioned in the subject: Nathan The Wise, Head of Passes and Stupid F*cking Bird. Which would you recommend, keeping in mind that I almost certainly won't be able to see the other 2 before they all close? I hear Head of Passes is a bit of a mixed bag, but that Rashad's performance is must-see (I've never seen her on stage before). I saw F. Murray Abraham in It's Only a Play, but I'd really love to see him sink his teeth into something, and I hear Nathan is good. I'm a Chekhov fan as well, and am really curious to see SFB.
I'd also be interested to hear if people have had luck with the rush for those 3 shows? I've usually had good luck at CSC since they'll sell their cancellation tickets to students at rush price. Public can be pretty hit-or-miss, I've found, and I've never seen a show by the Pearl Theatre Company.
What do you guys think?

I saw Stupid Bird in San Francisco and...liked it?
It's absurdist and kinda wacky, but pretty funny in parts and has some interesting things to say. When I saw it, however, it felt like a first draft. It may have gone through some revisions since then, but I'd recommend it overall.

SFB seems to be making the regional circuit this year (the aforementioned San Fran run, it just closed in Portland last month, and it's having its opening night premiere in Seattle tonight). So it seems if you don't mind seeing it regionally, it should pop up again, if that helps any. I can't vouch for the show myself though, as I don't have plans to see it until next Tuesday.
