Jef the Mime!

As a mime, Jef has been around the proverbial barn.  After apprenticing with mimes C.W. Metcalf and Tony Montanaro, Jef toured from 1976 to 1993 throughout the United States as a member of TOUCH, North Carolina's mime theater ensemble.

Traveling from his home in Lumberton, NC, Jef shares his wacky brand of interactive roving mime/mask theater at many festivals.  This year his travels include performances at: Merlefest in Wilkesboro, NC; The Piccolo Spoleto Children's Festival in Charleston, SC; The Ocrafolk Festival on Ocracoke Island, NC; Freedom Festival Aloft in Greer, SC and Christmas in July in West Jefferson, NC.
