The Head, Hands & Toe Show II : 4 of 5
9.26.2005 8:17 PM \| Link	I try to see most Tongue & Groove Theatre productions, since I know David Yeakle and many of the usual actors, but I especially wanted to see The Head, Hands & Toe Show II because the music was provided by my pals, The International Tubadores (Lisa, Jonathan, and Chris, of course). This was a sequel of sorts to a great show from a couple years ago, consisting of short musical pieces and unique mime or dance numbers. The "gimmick" is that a clever stage design makes it possible for one actor's head and hands to be on top of another actor's toes, so legs can walk away from a body, or a ballerina can be dancing on hairy hands instead of feet! This production was outside at a new theater space behind Ararat restaurant, and the amplification and lighting were surprisingly great for an outdoor space. A few numbers were included from the previous production, but there were several super-funny new vignettes, including a bumbling genie granting wishes and a bizarre fellow pooping out bowling balls on stage (you just had to be there - it was hilarious!). The actors were all really talented, and their facial expressions were fantastic, enhanced by their white-face make-up. It was a really fun show, so if they decide to bring it back again in the future, be sure to see it! Labels: arts
