Legs and All

The Story

A man in an attic meets a woman in a box. As they lure one another into their worlds, their curiosity unfolds to expose a hilarious, mind-bending, innovative allegory for the classic man-meets-woman story.

San Francisco’s beloved physical comedienne Summer Shapiro, teams up with equally talented clown Peter Musante (Blue Man Group – NY), for 55 minutes of kinetic comedy and subtle pathos, all supported by a tango-meets-bluegrass score by fiddle virtuoso Jordan Woods-Robinson.

Rooted in physical comedy and drenched in imaginative stage illusion, LEGS & ALL is an inventive exploration of human loneliness.  The story of life, served upside-down with chocolate cake.
