What is a favorite memory from this season?

I went to see The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window and felt I had time traveled to my grandmother’s one-bedroom apartment in the village, the apartment where my dad grew up. The high school from which my dad graduated (Music and Art) even got a shout out in the script! The loving detail in that production, the gorgeous performances, and the sense that this gem of a play by one of our best writers had been rescued from near oblivion made me emotional and reminded me of what theatre can do.
