"An extraordinary blend of skill and lunacy."
- The New York Times
James Donlon is considered one of the world's masters of movement theatre.
Playing with athletic vigor, passionate themes, and zany attacks on the
surreal...blending razor-sharp observations and virtuoso skill....Donlon
creates a hilarious, affecting evening of solo theatre: Mime, movement, mask,
voice, and
neo-classic clown antics merge as the imagination knows no boundaries
for this versatile physical artist.
Donlon has performed his original works throughout the United States,
Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, Italy, France,
Romania, Czech Republic, and Turkey.
"James Donlon's masterworks are full of hope and heart. They are not to be
missed."
- Oscar winner Kathy Bates
