The Mitch Show is a fast paced evening of comic films and audience participation pieces by Mitchell Rose, a former choreographer, performance artist and now prize winning filmmaker. Mitch’s offbeat films have won 54 festival awards and are screened across the globe, from the Getty Museum to the CBS Jumbo Vision in Times Square to a State Department tour in Kosovo. Manically funny, often poignant and always surprising, the show appeals equally to fans of film, theatre, dance, and comedy.
