TROUPERS presents lively and irreverent performances by the San Francisco Mime Troupe. Loud, boisterous, and fun, the Mime Troupe is also keenly committed to social change, and their performance style is a combination of comedy, drama, satire, music, song, and dance.
Born of San Francisco's 1960s counter-culture, the Mime Troupe has evolved to play in Midwestern union halls and in New York theaters.
"The Mime Troupe demonstrates how drama has a function, putting people's pre-occupations in front of their eyes and acting them out."—New York Times
"85 minutes of sheer bliss... passion, wit, social conscience, and hot licks."—San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Excellent... this fine record of a group born of 1960's idealism, that still perseveres with great effect, should prove valuable for college courses in theater history and in presentational theater techniques."—Choice
