Fringe is an exciting part of the annual Spoleto Festival and often provides some pleasant surprises.
JAZZ HAND, Tales Of A One Armed Woman, starring Mary Theresa Archbold and her husband Pat Shay, is a great example.
“Jazz Hands” is the name of a famous dance number from the Bob Fosse musical “All That Jazz.”
Mary Theresa - born without her left hand and forearm - provides many variations of events in her life relating to that missing limb.
Some are awkward, most are funny and ALL are inspiring by a lady who’s getting along with her life.
Here she is pictured, dancing with God, who answered her musical question “Why didn’t You Make All Of Me?”
She announced there are two more performances at the American Theatre. Do yourself a favor. Go see her.
Applaud with BOTH hands.
