**** Highly Recommended  I think Second City’s 113th Mainstage Revue, "This Too Shall Slap" is the funniest I’ve ever seen.  I can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard!  Everywhere I looked, people in the audience were laughing. There’s only one really political sketch, although some zingers fly by.  Although there’s a little less audience participation, there’s more sketches and zingers to keep you laughing.  4 big Spotlights

**** Highly Recommended  Remy Bumppo’s production of "Art", now playing at Theater Wit, is a witty, stylish, intelligent and sometimes hilarious play, skillfully directed by Marti Lyons.  The first time I saw "Art", back in 2006, I remember that a friend asked if the play debated the nature of art.  My answer is the same today as it was then – while art is integral to the plot, "Art" is much more about the nature of friendship.  When friends get mad at each other, they know exactly which buttons to push. This is a terrific show!  4 Spotlights
