We need more living, breathing, joyful theater like this! I was utterly disarmed by the dynamic mother/daughter duo of Jane and Tair Chen. Their work has reminded me that theater can be playful, silly, spontaneous, vulnerable and deeply personal without feeling conflicted or precious. They are both skillful improvisers and born storytellers, and I was utterly disarmed by their gentle strength. Highly recommended. (Just get there early! The place was packed to the rafters on Saturday.)
