      If pantomime is your thing, this is a show for you. For me, thank goodness the show was short, under an hour. At first, I liked the concept of using a screen to separate head and hands from the feet to create the various illusions in the skits. Unfortunately, the actors did not seem to have a good sense of precision and timing to keep the illusions engaging and realistic. Perhaps as a kids show, the light hearted nature of the skits would be fun and entertaining. For me, not my cup of tea. Collapse

      This might be something fun to do with children. The show is one hour long and is nonverbal with no script or words, just mambo music playing in the background. If this show is new to you, it might be interesting and different. As I have seen previous Heads and Hands shows using the same approach, there didn't seem to be any vignettes that were creatively new to me. The cast did seem like they were having fun with it. I loved the art in the Dougherty Arts Center, which was very creative and diverse. Collapse
