Showcase Description
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.
Bill Bowers is not your typical mime… he offers a taste of his life through a series of David-Sedaris-esque chronicles - sidesplittingly funny and tear-jerking at the same time. WASHINGTON SQUARE NEWS
Brilliant writing, a profound theme, riveting stories, and Bowers’ warm, winsome personality” BACKSTAGE
“Bill Bowers, a marvelous monologist, is also
one of the best mimes in America”
