The Cabinet of Hands by Chris Bell
Meet Sing Song girls
(Chinese geishas) and The Green Gang in Sing Song Girl Sing Last Song, a dancing/brawling
movement based melodrama. Witness spectacle and magic in the absinthe fueled hallucinations
of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Visit a sinister opium den in The Cabinet of Hands by Chris Bell, a
Grand Guignol play about a Madame with a penchant for collecting hands. And see hypnosis and
ventriloquism turn deadly performed by the ever popular, Petits Guignolers, a French finger
puppet troupe. Come early for on-board entertainment: period photos, Charleston, The Flashlight Follies, tango, absinthe & tea, and a French chanteuse.
