Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe

July 21st, 2007 . by matt


My friends Rob and Joy (recently seen as “Kiki” in the last Kiki show…and if all goes well, in the next one, too) are re-staging Jane Wagner’s incredible one-woman show Search for Signs, a play written for Lily Tomlin in the 70s. They put together the show about 6 years ago, for Piccolo Spoleto, here, in Charleston, and I saw it for the first time then. Joy is an unbelievable actor, and I was blown away then by her characterizations of all of Wagner’s delightful boys and girls In Search for Signs. While living in NYC I got to see Lily do the show, herself, and though she was sufficiently perfect, obviously, in performance I found myself missing some of Joy’s takes on the show…please do yourself a favor and support this brand new theater company in Charleston.
