"We believe that performance should help to generate a sense of community," observe Garrett and Moulton. "So we decided to present A Show of Hands in a locale that is actively engaged in the pursuit of offering creative and spiritual opportunities to hands, hearts and minds and supports a large and dynamic population at different times of the day. We are overjoyed to be presenting our work at the JCCSF."
