Zooman and the Sign

Signature Theatre Company’s 2008-2009 season celebrating the historic Negro Ensemble Company continues with Zooman and the Sign, by Charles Fuller, directed by Stephen McKinley Henderson.

A random act of violence leaves Reuben Tate and his family questioning their friends and neighbors, but their once caring community has been scared into helpless silence. As young Zooman terrorizes the neighborhood from the shadows, Reuben makes a dangerous appeal which may tear their world apart.

This powerful drama by Charles Fuller, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Soldier’s Play, depicts the devastating aftermath of violence on a family and an entire community.
