But this revue o f the music o f Fats Waller, now playing through Dec. 17, simply hursts with energy and high spirits. All five mem bers of the exceptionally talented cast make their parts their own while m anag ing to evoke the effervescent spirit o f the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and ’30s in Brenda Phillips possesses all the grandeur of an Ethel Waters, while Quigley Provost Landrum sizzles like a young Lena H om e. And the delightful Lisa Stm m recalls Josephine Baker at her wackiest as she practically leaps out of her skin in excitement. The women are matched equally by two dynamic men: Edward M. Barker, whose smooth delivery recalls Billy Eckstine in his prime, and Abduel Hall, who has the energy o f both o f the N icholas Broth ers rolled into one. The simple hut effective costuming, lighting and set all conspire together to delight under the expert pacing o f director Jam es Earl Ray. Rarely does Port land theater get this good. T he heat gener ated by Ain’t Misbehavin’ is just the thing to warm you up on a cold, dark autumn > night.

A smorgasbord of extended fams— Asian, Jewish, Latino and African American— gather together at Thanksgiving to ask: Why do we torture ourselves like this every year? The Jewish clan has spawned a semicloseted lesbian daughter (Kyra Sedgwick) who brings her honey (Julianna Margulies) home for the holiday.

And yet there are a few tender moments, and the sight of the homo- phobic mom (Lanie Kazan) serving breakfast in bed to the lesbian lovers was almost worth sitting through the rest of it. The short-attention-span style of editing and the cast of more than 40 dinner guests make for shallow dialogue and weak emotional impact, hut if you need a film to make you feel better about your own fam, this might do the trick.
