PICK - Zooman and the Sign - to April 26

A revival lovingly done at the Signature Theater at Peter Norton Space on far West 42nd St. This description is from the publicist "A random act of violence devastates Reuben Tate's family and scares their once caring community into silence. While young Zooman terrorizes the neighborhood, Reuben makes a dangerous appeal which may tear their world apart. This powerful drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Charles Fuller (A Soldier’s Play) depicts the horrifying aftermath of violence on a family and community."
Our frequent contributor Harriet selects this as a PICK and reports:

"Zooman and the Sign, now playing at the Signature Theater is part of the year's productions featuring the Negro Ensemble Company. It is a wonderfully acted revival of the 1980 Charles Fuller play which resonates every bit as much dramatically today, since the same 'incident' occurred in Trenton this past fall. No one sees anything and no one was looking in that direction. The fear is powerful. You would have to wonder what you would do in that very situation... Zooman got me very involved with the personal issues, and how much it reverberated almost 30 years later."
