Review: Slava's Snowshow
Whether you prefer sampling childlike joy through the eyes and experiences of actual children or through the hands, feet, and mouths of artists skilled in creating ironic distillations of it for more sophisticated palates, you’ll get your fill at Slava’s Snowshow.

Review: Home
There’s little actual music in Home, the heartfelt 1980 play by Samm-Art Williams that the Signature Theatre Company is reviving at Peter Norton Space. But what’s revealed in Ron OJ Parson’s spirited production, the second in Signature’s season-long tribute to the Negro Ensemble Company, is that this is a work of symphonic scope capable of putting most current Broadway musicals to shame. . .
