Mimi's acting career was primarily in Boston, where she worked extensively with the Wheelock Family Theatre, an Equity house that pioneered multicultural casting, and the award winning Beau Jest Moving Theatre with which she devised and performed several original productions, including an adaptation of the comic strip Krazy Kat. Mimi also toured schools with Theatre Espresso, and co-wrote a piece for them on Japanese incarceration camps titled Justice At War, which is still part of their touring repertoire.​In Seattle, Mimi has found occasion to be on stage for readings and small productions. The last fully mounted production was The Realm of Whispering Ghosts at the Bath House, directed by the legendary Arne Zaslove. ​Now that Mimi has retired after more than two decades as the Artistic Director of Youth Theatre Northwest, she is making a return to acting.  She is represented by The Actors' Group.
