SFMT Summer Schedule will be posted soon, ish
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit
Friday May 4th - Sunday May 20th
 |
Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour's arresting and allegorical work, White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, dissects the experience of a whole generation in a wild, utterly original play. Unable to leave Iran, Soleimanpour turns his isolation to his own advantage with this play which requires no director, no set, and a different actor for every performance. |
Per Mr. Soleimanpour's instruction, the script of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit will be opened in front of the audience & preformed unrehearsed by a different actor each night. Come see past and present Troupers: Josh Kornbluth (May 4th), Velina Brown (May 5th),
Patricia Silver & Robert Ernst (both May 10th), Michael Gene Sullivan (May 11th)!

Although we are not in production right now, our expenses, unfortunately, do not stop. And even though we have cut costs to the bone and had a successful summer season with better than projected hat donations, the tanking economy has taken a severe toll on the Troupe. Government and foundation funding is rapidly disappearing, and now we depend more on individual donations to aid our mission of performing socially relevant theater before the broadest possible audience!

The San Francisco Mime Troupe does not do pantomime. We mean 'mime' in the ancient sense: to mimic. We are satirists, seeking to make you laugh at the absurdities of contemporary life, and at the same time see their causes. We travel the country and the world with our message of solidarity, comedy, and the plight of the worker in our increasingly corporatized democracy, and have done shows about most of the burning issues of our time - normally debunking the official story. And because we want our shows about the issues of the day to be seen by the people who are most effected by those issues- working class families who can't always afford to the ticket prices at the other Tony award winning theaters - we perform most of our shows free in public parks, for tens of thousands of our fellow citizens every summer.
