I couldn't help feeling that only a certain segment of Jerry Springer America was being made to feel uncomfortable; a segment that lives mostly in the Rocky Mountain and desert states, is whiteDavid Millstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572137506121239769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524728.post-44702450868647966512007-05-04T23:21:00.000-07:002007-05-04T23:21:00.000-07:00Posted by Followspot May 4, 2007; closes May 5, 20...Posted by Followspot May 4, 2007; closes May 5, 2007<BR/><BR/>Moments. Many brilliant moments. Though not all bits rang a bell with me, there was interesting resonance among cacophony as a whole. Once again, H2M’s man-behind-the-curtain operations enhance the presentation while highlighting the ensemble. What will happen when this comes back from the drawing boards at this year’s TBA Festival?followspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390128032621439981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524728.post-11447725902020858402007-05-02T10:01:00.000-07:002007-05-02T10:01:00.000-07:00I can't say it enough: I freaking love this show, ...I can't say it enough: I freaking love this show, and expect even greater things from Hand2Mouth in the future. Asking them to "produce stunning work consistently" is a bit silly—does Elevator Repair Service <I>always</I> blow the audience away? How about Ontological?—but we can count on the fact that every show they create is the result of great labor and consideration. <BR/>If you haven't seen Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524728.post-30255326195161435442007-05-02T07:00:00.000-07:002007-05-02T07:00:00.000-07:00I have to disagree with Anonymous 8:38.

I found plenty of hilarity in the show to be sure, but just as many moments of true emotion and real engagement with music that many would dismiss as unsophisticated, conservative or just plain crappy.

That's no easy achievement.<BR/><BR/>Every single minute is exciting here. On paper, you wouldn't think this is a feel good show, but really it is. You come away energized and awake.<BR/><BR/>An open question: Is it too insular?
