Celebration Barn presents Bowers

PARIS — On Saturday, August 25 at 8 p.m., Celebration Barn presents Bill Bowers in "Beyond Words," a critically acclaimed solo show with spoken and silent stories of small town America. The New York Times described the show as, “Fascinating. Affecting. 'Beyond Words' is engaging to the eye and ear.”

New York mime Bill Bowers takes the audience on a funny and poignant journey through mime, music and monologues. One of the most acclaimed mimes in America today, Bill Bowers' eloquent movement evokes the deepest truths of the human condition. Often compared to Chaplin and Keaton, Bowers has truly created a style all his own.

Bowers is a student of world-renowned mime Marcel Marceau, and has performed and conducted workshops throughout the US, Europe and Asia. His acclaimed original shows have been produced Off-Broadway to critical raves.

Celebration Barn Director Amanda Huotari says, “Bill Bowers first came to the Barn two years ago with one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen. He's an outstanding storyteller, capturing the truth poetically with humor and grace. We're thrilled to present this new show.”
