OPEN LETTER
TO STAFF and STUDENTS
Dear Friend,
We are to inform you that the PENN STATE
PLAYERS and THETA ALPHA PHI, national dramatics
honorary fraternity, are bring to Campus The American
Mime Theatre tonight only. Schwab Auditorium. 8:15 p.m.
The American Mime Theatre is the only pro
fessional mime troupe in the United States. It has per
formed with outstanding success in the legitimate
theatre, the concert hall and repeatedly on nationally
televised programs.
Mime in its simplest definition is the art of acting
without words, and has been seen little in America
except in Charles Chaplin.
The current repertory contains seven plays that
range in subject from the legend of creation to the zany
workings of a pinball machine.
We hope you will have an opportunity to see
America's answer to the World Famous French Mimic.
Marcel Marceau . . . The American MIME Theatre, and
enjoy an unforgettable theatre experience with an audi
ence appeal that is universal.
