Yes, the extra hand is a nice prop! I'm an old theater techie, used to do lights and build scenery. We did Phantom in the round one time, and we had to make a dummy drop from a hole in the ceiling on a noose. We used a department store mannequin, and when the rope jerked, it kept flying apart, an arm here, the head there, the hand reminds me of that.
Cute pic~! How old is it?
Theatre! I started writing a sort of stage musical once and included a scene with dancing techs dressed all in black, but that's a whole 'nother story.
It was taken in my college dorm room, long ago and not really all that far away. :o)
