First Posted: 04/08/11 04:20 AM ET   Updated: 06/07/11 06:12 AM ET

HuffPost Arts' Haiku Reviews is a bi-weekly feature where invited critics review exhibitions and performances in short form. Some will be in the traditional Haiku form of 5x7x5 syllables, others might be a sonnet or a string of words together. Today George Heymont and Peter Frank give quick takes on visual art from Berkeley to New York. Is there a show or performance that you think people should know about? Write a Haiku with a link and shine a light on something you think is noteworthy too.

WHAT: Legacy of Light
San Jose Repertory Theatre
101 Paseo de San Antonio, San Jose, California 95113
Through April 17

HAIKU: Directed by Kirsten Brandt, San Jose Rep's six-member ensemble does an impressive job bringing Legacy of Light to life. Karen Zacarias's engaging dramedy (which received the American Theatre Critics Association's Best New Play Award for 2010) does a superb job of showcasing the personal and professional challenges faced by intelligent women more than 250 years apart. Her use of magical realism imbues the play's second act with extraordinary appeal. -George Heymont
