the sign 'show' uses both hands. Relax the non-dominant hand so it is flat, and bring the hand in front of you so the palm faces outwards. Ball the hand into a fist, leaving the index finger outstretched. Tap the tip of the index finger against the non-dominant palm, and bring the hand and palm out away from you.
Use the standard movement described in the instructions. Start near your body and move both hands outward toward the person you are talking to, which naturally indicates 'I show you.'
Because 'show' is a directional verb, you change the meaning by changing the movement. To sign 'show me,' start with your hands extended away from you and bring them inward toward your chest.
To indicate showing something to a group of people, perform the sign while moving your hands outward in a sweeping arc, as if presenting the flat hand to everyone in the room.

Yes, your non-dominant hand should be the flat 'paper' or display surface, while your dominant hand does the pointing with the index finger.
Simply reverse the movement! Keep the exact same handshapes, but start with the hands extended slightly away from you and pull them inward to tap against your own chest.
No, this sign is specifically the verb 'to show' (to demonstrate or present). For a television show or theater performance, you would use the ASL sign for 'drama/theater' or fingerspell S-H-O-W.
