An Afternoon with Benjamin and Thom: Masters of Variety

Benjamin and Thom are masters of Varieté... which means a lot of different things! In this case, it means dazzling dining, eccentric entreés, and jubilant juggling. Thom Wall and Benjamin Domask-Ruh are back at it, again, to present an afternoon of friendship and fine juggling. This duo dares to bring an audience together through juggling, comedy, and object manipulation, asking the question: Can they get an audience of strangers to wave a heartfelt goodbye to one another when they're leaving the theater?
