Artistic Assistant and Board Liaison Emily Chackerian talks about the research she did when designing the community shrine for ANIMAL WISDOM. If you’ve been to the show, you’ve witnessed the beautiful contributions to our altar IRL — if you haven’t, we hope you’ll get to see it and add to it before we must close this Sunday, June 14.

Don’t miss Tony nominee Kenita R. Miller’s “absolute powerhouse” (New York Stage Review) performance. Book your tickets now via the link in our bio!

Along with our ORATORIO family, all of us at Signature are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Dito van Reigersberg, who left this world yesterday surrounded by family and loved ones. Dito was a shooting star among us; a prodigious talent with a massive heart who warmed every room he entered. If you were lucky enough to see him perform, his singular voice is certainly still resonating in your cells. For those who shared time with him, the depth of his talent was only matched by the reach of his kindness. We are the richer for knowing him. Our love is with his family and all those who will miss him beyond measure.

- Emily Shooltz, Artistic Director

What do you call an unalive cocktail? A drink with no spirit!

You could also call it a mocktail, and name it after a song from ANIMAL WISDOM, which is what bar manager Noah Yaconelli has done with Wild Things Daughter, his “punched up green juice” at the Signature Bar. Stop by before the show and get yourself this refreshing drink!

ANIMAL WISDOM must close June 14! Get your tickets (and a drink) today!
