With just one weekend left of our holiday show, I want to thank everyone who has helped make this a great year for The Mime Company. In 2010, The Mime Company has applied for 501(c)(3) status as a federally recognized tax-exempt charitable organization, created a partnership with Evanston’s Ridgeville Park District to be our rehearsal home, and revamped the website to be more in touch with our audience. We produced a new play, Orpheus and Eurydice, at City Lit’s Art of Adaptation Festival, as well as our current production, Snow Days and Plane Delays. On top of this, we’ve continued to reach thousands of students through our school-based outreach programs.

We wouldn’t have accomplished any of this without a lot of people believing in the value of this unique work and giving a lot of their time.

Please help us celebrate by checking out this fantastic review of Snow Days, posting your own review or comment to our website about how this or another of our shows has moved you, or coming to see the show if you haven’t already. If you are so inclined, you might also consider making a small tax-deductible donation to support our work, bringing a Mime Company performance, workshop, or residency to your school or event, or lending your expertise in leadership or development as a board member.

Thanks for helping us to move ahead in 2010!

Sincerely,
Eliot Monaco
Artistic Director
