Kim Epifano’s dance work can be seen on her site.


Founded in 1987 by Sally Davis and Kim Epifano, the leadership expanded to include artist Mike Stasiuk in 1991 and Clay Frohman, a former Mudd Butt parent who both writes and plays music, in 2010.įor more pictures of the Mudd Butts in action, and to see Mike Stasiuk’s delightful work as an artist, check out his website. Written by Michael Ende as a fairy-tale novel about time and childhood, the book has been translated into more than 30 languages and was made into a movie in 1986. For the uninitiated, the Mudd Butts are named for the state of one’s shorts after the troupe’s inaugural hike up Coronet Creek each summer and the obligatory slide down the red clay hillside on one’s rear end. It has a short title and a long, descriptive subtitle: Momo, or The Curious Story about the Time-Thieves and the Child Who Returned the People’s Stolen Time.
