The Showcase
Join us December 11th–14th, 2026 for The Showcase, the American Mime Theatre’s end-of-season performance event.
Founded in 1952 by Paul J. Curtis, the American Mime Theatre pioneered a distinct, uniquely American theatrical art form—moving beyond traditional pantomime to create a complete medium of physical drama and nonverbal storytelling. For over seven decades, the company has trained generations of performers and built an acclaimed body of original work rooted in expressive movement, precision, and imagination.
Honoring that legacy, The Showcase features a curated selection of narrative and procedural pieces spanning the past, present, and future of the American Mime Theatre's illustrious repertory. Experience iconic works from our archives alongside contemporary creations and bold new pieces in development as we celebrate the enduring evolution of American Mime.
