Like many on my facebook page, I used to think that the San Francisco Mime Troupe was... well, mimes, and thus didn't go see many of their performances. After all, if I wanted to get my mime fix, there was always The Mime on twitter. So let me clear up this issue once and for all: the SF Mime Troupe is not silent theatre, it is comedic, political, musical theatre, pushing the boundaries and giving clear instructions on what us liberals should really be doing, especially with Too Big To Fail.
Their latest show is the story of the credit rise and fall in our country, with a healthy dose of "I told you so at the end" all wrapped up beautifully in the blanket of an African fable. Looking around at the Mill Valley, I wondered what they, if anything, were going to do after seeing this eye opening show, and realized that the show was a success - it worked on me; I see things in much less of a consumer perspective in the day that I've had the show to stew. They did what they set out to do. Let's just hope that someone with a little more money is affected as well.
Other cool stuff:
Acting was fantastic!
Band was amazing!
Set was really cool.
Bring a blanket.
