Signature Stories Vol 8 | Page 4

{ lookingback } The 2013-14 All-Premiere Season saw both new and familiar faces at the Center this fall. We welcomed Residency Five artist Martha Clarke to Signature with the world premiere of Chéri, and were delighted to have Ruben Santiago-Hudson back at the theatre with August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned. It was an autumn filled with music and excitement, and we were thrilled to share it with everyone who came through our doors. 1 3 1.
