Dan Froot and New York puppet theater artist Dan Hurlin create three short ?Äútoy-theater?Äù plays in collaboration with three hungry and homeless West Hollywood residents. (Toy-theater is a miniaturized form of puppet-theater performed on tabletop-sized stages.) At the end of the performance, audience members will be invited to join in a discussion about the work with the artists, participants and community partners.

Shlammer

A surreal romp through the worlds of early 20th century Vaudeville and Jewish gangsterism. In the course of enacting a revisionist Bar Mitzvah, Froot unwittingly unearths Daddy Kleinman, an old time hoodlum turned hoofer, who shows him a thing or two about what the ?Äúperformance of masculinity?Äù really means.

Live Sax Acts

LIVE SAX ACTS is the umbrella name for the series of celebrated duets by Bessie Award-winners Dan Froot and David Dorfman, seen throughout the U.S., Europe and in Europe, Africa and South America. HORN (1990) is a sweaty, kilt-clad battle of full-contact dance and saxophone playing; in BULL (1994), intimacies are broadcast through bullhorns and violence erupts from unexpected places; in JOB (1996) two crazed brokers desperately trade commodities of love, trust and betrayal; and in WOLF (2008), protectors transform into predators as Froot and Dorfman (in and out of wolf masks) officiate at a surrealistic ?Äúcommunity watch?Äù meeting.
