"...This company's four ensemble members present an array of beautifully performed, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking and always impressive pieces that stay with you long after the houselights are restored."

"... The Mime Company of Chicago just might change your opinion of this art form, making it fun, exciting and extremely accessible."

"[Acts Without Words] flows with carefully practiced detail through vignettes well-balanced and diversified in emotional tenor."

"... The company's current quartet... understands the value of restraint and how to conjure a colorful emotional palette from the most minimal of gestures and expressions. They use the Heartland's tiny black-box space, stripped bare of detail, to perfection, embellishing it with only soft spotlights, a few costume changes, occasional sound effects and a well-chosen soundtrack segueing from Bach harpsichord to French musette. At a brisk hour and a half, it's mime well spent."
