No one wants to be a sucker. And Hollywood is obsessed with the more deceitful and gutsy among us, those who would make us suckers.
The live show Hoodwinked! arrives at Springfield's CityStage this week to demonstrate the art of the con. The show stars four real-life con men who perform tricks of the trade on audience members. The show is similar to magic shows, but the con men of Hoodwinked! dare you to try and evade their deceptions.
Nov. 22, 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., CityStage, Columbus Center, Springfield, (413) 788-7033, www.symphonyhall.com.
