Signature Theatre will host several free special events this winter at the Pershing Square Signature Center, including concerts, talkbacks, dance parties, and more.

Residency One playwright Suzan-Lori Parks will perform with her band Sula and the Noise at the Signature Café Bar throughout her yearlong residency with Signature. Sula and the Noise features guitars, drums, found sounds, and original songs with an Afro-Americana vibe. The band features writer and musician Suzan-Lori Parks (a.k.a. "Sula"), guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Christian Konopka and percussionist and actor Julian Rozzell. Performances will begin at 10pm on the following Saturdays: February 4, February 11, February 18, February 25, March 4, and March 11.

The Signature Spotlight Series will present talkbacks and behind-the-scenes programs in connection with the world premieres of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' Everybody and Will Eno's Wakey, Wakey. Jacobs-Jenkins and director Lila Neugebauer will participate in a free Page to Stage discussion on February 16, and playwright and director Will Eno will have his own Page to Stage conversation on February 22.

Sig Socials are free parties at the Pershing Square Signature Center. On February 10, the theater will host a '90s Dance Party, complete with spiked punch, hourly line dances, superlative awards, and the hottest hits of the decade. The series continues its Trivia Nights on February 24, hosted by cast members from Signature productions.
