1997: Killing Time


35th Season of Free Park Shows!

"...a bona fide S.F. Mime Troupe outdoor show - smart, funny, refreshingly political and deftly performed."

--- Rob Hurwitt
San Francisco Examiner

 

"...KILLING TIME serves up plenty of delicious satiric poison..."

---Carol Lloyd
SF Weekly

 


Temping had never been this weird...
"The San Francisco Mime Troupe is back in fine rabble-rousing form...high-energy show..."

---Brad Rosenstein
The San Francisco Bay Guardian

 

"(KILLING TIME) is angry, confused, funny and conflicted, just like life in the 90's..."

---Jim Carnes
The Sacramento Bee

Longtime temp-worker Jacob, pushing 30 and beginning to fear destiny has passed him by, cites Clinton's continuing concessions to the right as proof that politics is bunk. Now he is being haunted by a manic bag lady who claims to be in touch with the President. Meanwhile, a mysterious string of E-mail taunts turn the Man from Hope's sneaking fear that history will remember him as a bad joke to terrified certainty, and provokes him to a desperate attempt at breaking capital's chokehold on the capitol. When each finds himself mano-a-mano with "Hacksaw" Jack Belch, king of corporate downsizers, will Clinton have the stuff? Will Jacob seize the time?

With federal funding reduced by the continuing rightwing attack on the National Endowment for the Arts, grants provide only 46% of the cost of the SFMT's park season. Our admission-free shows depend on your generous donations.
