Join us for this fun and unflinching look at the life and mimes of Bill Bowers.
"It Goes Without Saying" takes the audience on a scenic tour of Bill's life thus far: from growing up gay in the wilds of Montana, his outrageous jobs as a performer, studying with Marcel Marceau, and the whirlwind of working on Broadway.
Bill observes the incredible power that silence can wield - whether on stage, between family members, among neighbors, or when we are alone. Bill talks (yes, talks) with sensitivity, precision, and constant humor about a life lived out loud.
Written and Performed by Bill Bowers
Directed by and Developed with Martha Banta
“To watch Bill Bowers… is to see the technical elements of a style that brings Marcel Marceau readily to mind, joined to the American West. Mime can be wonderful - the air between him and us is his palette.” The New York Times
“Brilliant writing, a profound theme, riveting stories, and Bowers’ warm, winsome personality.” Backstage
