**** Recommended **** I’m not quite sure how to describe First Folio’s “Fooling Buddha”. It’s a one-man show, for sure, but it’s also a memoir filled with Buddhist truisms and a little bit of magic thrown in just for fun. The important thing – “Fooling Buddha” has a lot of laughs. I give it 4 Spotlights.
“Fooling Buddha” runs through April 24th at First Folio Theatre at the Mayslake Peabody Estate, 31st Street and Rt. 83, Oakbrook. Running time is 85 minutes, no intermission. Performances are Wednesday through Saturday at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 3:00 pm. Tickets range from $29-$39. Parking is free. FYI (630) 986-8067 or www.firstfolio.org.
