Writer and performer E. Patrick Johnson stars in this new one-man exploration into the Southern black gay community. Based on Johnson's award-winning and critically acclaimed book, Sweet Tea is a fascinating and perceptive oral history inspired by the author's own personal journey. Sweet Tea explores the perceptions, angst, triumphs and vulnerabilities of this minority within a minority. With passion and insight, Johnson reinforces the spoken-word tradition while challenging stereotypes -- and finding humor, humanity and hope within.

SOLD OUT

Coming off his critically-acclaimed Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim's Follies, director Eric Schaeffer returns to his home as the artistic director at the Signature Theatre to helm this eagerly-anticipated revival of the composer's Company. It's a 35th birthday celebration for still-single Robert, attended by his married friends and his three girlfriends. Through a series of vignettes, this witty and wise musical reflects on connections and commitments, marriage and contemporary relationships. The show also boasts the hit song "Being Alive," plus "Side By Side," "Another Hundred People" and "The Ladies Who Lunch." With a score by Sondheim and book by George Furth, Company won multiple Tony Awards in both its original staging and its Broadway revivals. Known as something of a Sondheim specialist, Schaeffer has guided Signature to more than 70 Helen Hayes Awards, plus a 2009 Regional Theatre Tony. Learn More

The actor allowed those of us viewing, the spectactors, to experience, emotions in it's "rare" and raw form. Moreover, incorporating, the richness of music, spirituality, all the while taking us on his journey. Fabulously done!
