Did you know, there was a time when people could get in trouble--really, really BIG trouble--for being LEFT-HANDED!?



It's true!




Lefty and Righty hand out the facts in a theatrical performance that spans the ages. Once upon a time, left was considered wrong . . . but now, left or right, it's all alright. (And there are scissors for everyone!)
