Entertaining, Funny, Thought-provoking, Great acting, Delightful

See it if you like mime-type action with little dialogue, here in ways that challenge you and make you think-excellent troupe with great expressions.

Don't see it if you want a play with a start, story line and ending. This is a series of vignettes on a variety of topics.

Ambitious, Funny, Fluffy, Quirky, Clever
