<description><![CDATA[ (May 8, 2013) Actor/mime Bill Bowers brings his one-man show,  It Goes Without Saying,  back to the Adirondacks next Monday night.

When it premiered Off-Broadway, the New York Times called it &quot;zestful and endearing.&quot;He&apos;ll perform it Monday at 5:30 pm at the &quot;A Taste of the Arts&quot; dinner at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.  Todd Moe talks with Bowers about the success of his quirky, autobiographical production based on his life and theatrical career. From a childhood in rural Montana, to Broadway, to training with Marcel Marceau, Bowers says, It Goes Without Saying, tells a funny and touching story of the important role that silence plays both on stage and in life.
