praise for our previous productions...

@ liberty

"@ liberty is a continuation of chamblee and kissane's unusual, collaborative format for creating live theater... the language of their plays weaves in and out between monologues, dialogues and what might be called 'hop-on-board-ologues'..."
The Independent

holding pattern

"a rib-tickling evening for adventurous Triangle theatregoers" created with well-honed performances and "a fine sense of the absurd."
Classical Voice of North Carolina

"...the peeling back of the layers by the uniformly energetic, characterful cast keeps the journey intriguing and entertaining."
The News & Observer

the parent project

"both hands theatre's new show is a quick, tight, engaging production that punches plenty of emotional buttons for anyone who has a parent or two -- and more for anyone who happens to be a parent as well."
The News & Observer

One of the Indy's 2007 Best Original Scripts
4 stars
"the work sounds like both hands at its best: a choir -- shattered at some points, harmonic at others -- of earnest, honest voices that are in conflict at times with the home truths they're trying to tell."
The Independent

exactly what t(w)o do

One of the Top Ten Best of 2006 for Front Row Center Theater in the Triangle
"This is a deep and very subtle script. It is also hilariously funny... You have never seen a show like this before. And if you miss it, you probably never will."
Classical Voice of North Carolina

One of the Indy's 2005 Best Original Scripts
"a metaphorical world rich in multiphonic wordplay."
The Independent

brooms: a play about saying yes

One of the Indy's 2004 Best Original Scripts
"...Cheryl Chamblee and Tamara Kissane returned this year with an imaginative but still unsentimentalized fairy tale for adults, one that repeatedly crossed the boundaries Gertrude Stein, Steve Reich and others have explored between music, rhythmic spoken word and dialogue."
The Independent

sponsors

both hands theatre company's 2008-2009 season was supported in part through gifts to the durham arts council united arts fund, and by the north carolina arts council with funding from the state of north carolina and the national endowment for the arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
