Jim Meskimen’s JIMPRESSIONS at the Garry Marshall

September 13 - September 14

Jim Meskimen’s connection to Garry Marshall began in 1972, when his real life mom, actress Marion Ross, was cast as Marion Cunningham in the iconic television show Happy Days. As an actor himself, Jim first appeared in a Garry project at age 17 — featured in the iconic “Jump the Shark” episode of Happy Days. Jim returned to work with Garry again in two of Marshall’s films, including a favorite of Garry’s, The Other Sister.

Meskimen has been a professional actor/impressionist for over 35 years. His ‘voices’ have been heard in animation (Family Guy, Phineas & Ferb, Marvel Avengers Assemble), talk shows (Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher, Jay Leno and David Letterman), and on scripted TV (For All Mankind, Mom, The Big Bang Theory, Night Court).

GMT’s presenting of JIMPRESSIONS showcases special stories of Jim’s early years being raised by the real Mrs. C, his days on set with Ron Howard on his films The Grinch and Apollo 13, moving homage to Robin Williams, and original songs in a parade of celebrity voices. Plus audience interaction with Jim onstage in an exciting, improvised game of “Movie Line Trivia!”

Improvisational, musical and absolutely hilarious, the mind-boggling, quick-changing personas of JIMPRESSIONS is a brilliant glimpse into so many of our treasured voices in entertainment and beyond, all performed by the man the Australian Today Show called “the world’s best impressionist.”

Run time approximately 75 minutes with no intermission.
