The husband and wife team of Nina Cheney and Jacob Mills present an evening of hilarious, fast-paced, and downright amazing New Vaudeville entertainment for the whole family. Human Cartoons & Juggling Theatricks ––a two-act performance–– showcases two very distinct performing styles. . .
In Act One Cheney and Mills kindle and engage your imagination with the silent comedy of their European Masks --a powerfully expressive traditional artform "with a twist" ala Cheney & Mills!

They bring to life an endearing cast of characters who speak the wordless language of the heart, loud and clear.

Act Two--Everything's up in the air! Amid the flying fruit, tossed utensils, and hurled headgear, Cheney and Mills throw in a bit of mischief to the mix, and somehow manage to juggle their way back to (momentary) marital bliss. With sparkling wit and split-second timing, this kind of humor defies gravity-- hopefully most of it will go right over your head! This duo is dynamite . . .and the fuse is lit! If they weren't so funny, they'd be dangerous. So, heads up, be warned . . . if you're not careful, you will be charmed, amazed, and utterly entertained.
Warning: The Sturgeon General warns that this performance may be dangerous to your health. The laughter is infectious. An innocent giggle, a tiny chortle, a single unchecked guffaw can soon lead to serious howling, often accompanied by full, unbridled thigh-slapping. (This can result in lawsuits if the thigh is not your own.) The lucky ones are left breathless, teary-eyed, amazed, yet strangely entertained. Foolhardy "volunteers" will forever question their sanity. But remember. . . there's safety in numbers--so definitely bring the kids, your neighbors (their kids), your neighbors (their kids), your grandparents, your in-laws, your friends, and your enemies. . . (helmets optional)
Together since 1981, Cheney and Mills perform regularly in theaters, schools, festivals, corporate events, and aboard some of the world's largest cruise ships.
