Kaneza Schaal's kaleidoscopic account of an ex-con's attempts to reintegrate-- it drops into 1950s sitcoms and African-American dance pageantry at the drop of a hat -- made quite an impression at BAM last Fall.  It's good to have it back.  While the cast (all three of them) are all beyond excellent, Cornell Alston (himself an ex-con) in the title roll is unforgettable.  For this run, Schaal has created a new installation through which audience members enter and leave the auditorium.
