Cookin' in The Kitchen

It's a Shim Sham shame if you did not get to see, just to name a few, Sarah Reich, Michaela Lerman, Jason Samuels Smith and--be still, heart--Tamango, tap's sly master of grace and fluidity, cooking up a mess of tap dance at The Kitchen. All that plus the irrepressible MC-ing, storytelling, opinionating, mesmeric performing and overall moral leadership of Harold Cromer, who commanded the night like a five-star general. Can we maybe seriously pressure curator Rashida Bumbray to schedule this Shim Sham jam more than just once per season? Not enough. Not nearly enough joy in our lives these days.
