Review: SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED at Signature Theatre Photo

Review: SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED at Signature Theatre

Safety Not Guaranteed at Signature Theatre takes that exact journey and winds up in an alt-indie-rock concert with a semblance of sci-fi and human connection. Much like most time machines however, it’s transcendent in theory but lacks flawless execution in reality.
