School assemblies - kids acting with masks on, Jacob smiling

Performances for Schools

Jacob Mills’ “By the Seat of His Baggy Pants” is a chance to laugh and learn…all at once! With his incredible collection of masks from his travels around the world, and a cast of fun, enduring and hilarious characters, Jacob Mills blends dynamic physical expression with comic timing. Oversized white masks from the Swiss carnival celebrations and half masks from the Italian Commedia del Arte tradition enrich this fun and educational program. Characters interact with the audience and the audience gets into the act as they don the giant masks and get an on-stage lesson in physical comedy.

Jacob has performed at our school for the past 15 years. Mesmerizing Masks from around the world, Theater and Juggling. He captures the attention of all ages….an exciting and fun filled
adventure…..Jacob can make connections with almost any school related topic. I would recommend Jacob Mills to any school or business to promote motivation,life skills and especially a lot of smiles.
