On March 19, the mime troupe held performances during both lunch blocks in the West Gym. Several different combinations of students performed silent skits, ranging from depictions of a cheating boyfriend to a new and irresponsible driver. Viewers sat in awe on the gym floor and applauded the silent acting. The troupe ended the show with a full-group performance, in which they mimed along with children’s book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”
