Overview and metadata sections

Princeton Mime Company.

Founded in 1974 by a philosophy student trained in mime and dance, the Princeton Mime Company has developed into a touring and teaching mime troupe. Each school year, the company players offer a fall workshop on campus, stage all-original productions, and perform at schools, universities, and festivals in the United States as well as abroad.

Consists of programs, flyers, reviews (largely from the Daily Princetonian), photographs, rehearsal schedules, and correspondence of the Princeton Mime Company.

For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.

Box 2 was added by Christie Peterson in February 2011. Container list created by Eleanor Wright '14 in January 2012 and finding aid updated by Christie Peterson in February 2012.
