Time Out says

Signature Theatre, founded by James Houghton in 1991, focuses on exploring and celebrating playwrights in depth, with whole seasons devoted to works by individual living writers. In 2012, it moved to a home base equal to its lofty ambitions. Designed by star architect Frank Gehry, the new Signature Center comprises three major Off Broadway spaces: a 299-seater main stage, a 199-seat miniature opera house and a malleable courtyard theater named for the late Romulus Linney.

What’s on

Curse of the Starving Class

Christian Slater and Calista Flockhart play the parents in the latest revival of Sam Shepard's 1978 dysfunctional-family play, a dark satire of the American Dream set on a crumbling California farm. Scott Elliott directs the production for his New Group, with a supporting cast that comprises Cooper Hoffman, David Anzuelo, Kyle Beltran, Jeb Kreager and Stella Marcus.

Grangeville

Signature Theatre resident playwright Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) has been justly celebrated for a suite of sensitive works that focus on crises of self-knowledge and connection in rural Idaho. This time, Paul Sparks and Brian J. Smith play half-brothers—one of whom has moved to the Netherlands—who communicate long-distance to address their mother's failing health. Jack Serio directs the world premiere.

On the Evolutionary Function of Shame

D.A. Mindell's play juxtaposes Adam and Eve in the aftermath of their expulsion from Eden with the dilemma of a modern-day pregnant transgender man and his twin sister, a genetic scientist who has made an important discovery about gender dysphoria. Jess McLeod directs the world premiere for Second Stage, which has recently been cast out of its own little corner of heaven—midtown's Tony Kiser Theater—but has found shelter at the Signature Theatre complex.
