Congratulations to the entire ensemble for a wonderful opening night, and thanks to everyone who came to support some mimes during the holidays! We’ve received our first review, and here it is:
“Snow Days and Plane Delays: An Evening of Holiday Mime”
Thanks for coming, Paige! For all of you who haven’t yet bought tickets, never fear–we have five more performances for you to catch. Merry Christmas Eve for those who celebrate Christmas, and we hope to see you next week so we can wish you a Happy New Year as well!
We had a great preview of “Snow Days and Plane Delays” at the Dawes Elementary School for District 65 on Wednesday. A couple of late buses meant that the mimes got to have an in-depth workshop with the kids where they played with imaginary motors and blenders before the show. Judging from the response, we’d say the favorite pieces from the show were “Carolers,” “The Kite,” “Xmas Lights,” and “The Mall,” which has been updated to a full-ensemble holiday shopping piece. Then we drove on over to the Walt Disney Magnet school to do a workshop and performance with students while their parents learned about initiatives for literacy. The kids there went crazy for “The Chair!”
What’s more, we’ve been featured in Steadstyle Chicago–find our listing below:

That’s all for now, but we’re getting geared up for what is looking like a fantastic show!
