It Goes Without Saying
 |
It Goes Without Saying by Bill Bowers developed with and directed by Martha Banta Mon, Thurs-Sat at 8pm; Sun at 3 pm August 30 – Oct 15, 2006 SETS: John McDermott LIGHTS: Ed McCarthy SOUND: Jill BC Du Boff COSTUMES: Michael Growler |
In this 75-minute joy ride, Bill shares funny, heart-breaking, and unbelievable true stories from both his career and his lifelong exploration of the role silence plays in all our lives. It Goes Without Saying takes the audience on a scenic tour of Bill’s life thus far; from his childhood in the wilds of Montana, to his outrageous jobs as a performer, to the whirlwind of working on Broadway, and studying with Marcel Marceau. Compared to the work of Claudia Shear, Lisa Kron and David Sedaris, It Goes Without Saying is an auto-biographical tour-de-force.
