Performances

Sheila Kerrigan is the mime who can't find a box she fits inside. 

Performance for Adults

Mime Explains String Theory

or, Mime Explains Life, Death

In her performance for adults, the mime starts before birth, ends after death, and toddles unsteadily through the thirteen stages of woman. She accidentally uncovers the meaning of life and struggles to communicate it. 

It's a talking mime show. It's a two-person solo. It's a serious comedy with quirky humor, uplifting surprises,  puppetry, metaphysics, and metaphor. It leaves audiences with that rising feeling.

Performance for Children (This performance appeals to grades 3-8.)

The Juggler Who Drops! The Mime Who Talks!

Her performance for children includes juggling (and dropping) while she talks about the importance of failure in learning and growing. She juggles and tells a story about setting a positive mental attitude to aim for success. She gives a lecture-demonstration about mime and even performs silent mime pieces! At the end of the performance, she can teach mime or juggling to up to 30 audience members.
