Blink of an Eye

By Jeremy Dobrish

CHANGE IN THE MIMES SEASON:

Unfortunately, the Mimes were not granted the rights to their scheduled second show, “Don’t Drink the Water”.   Haven’t we all been there!

In the great Mimes tradition of the show must go on, the students are moving forward and producing an exciting, contemporary play: 
 

BLINK OF AN EYE

By Jeremy Dobrish

This giddy detective story of a play follows the last case of Boswell, a low-key, solitary "tracker" of lost persons, who is recruited by an eccentric billionaire to find his missing brother. First produced Off-Broadway in 1995, Ben Brantley of the New York Times remarked, “This goofy, ingeniously structured tale suggests Pirandello on Prozac, recasting his usual mind games in the cheery terms of a Mad magazine parody.”

 

Company

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Book by George Furth

March 5 - 8, 2009 
 

On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, we are introduced to "those good and crazy people," his married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and cons of married life.

The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore Stephen Sondheim’s landmark show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. 
 
 

The Glass Menagerie

By Tennessee Williams

April 16 – 19, 2009 
 

Looking back, Tom Wingfield recalls his life in a shoddy St. Louis tenement during the Depression with his mother, Amanda who lives in dreams of an imaginary past, and his crippled sister, Laura who seems to live only for a collection of glass animals. When Tom’s unsuspecting friend is invited to dinner, the lives of all three are changed forever.

One of the most famous plays of the modern theatre by one of our most prolific playwrights, it is a tale of great tenderness, charm and fragile beauty.
