2012- The Musical!

The San Francisco Mime Troupe doesn't perform silent pantomime; we mean "mime" in the ancient sense - to mimic, or satirize. For over 50 years we've created original musical parodies that attempt to make sense of the headlines, and make our audiences laugh in the process. The Troupe has been honored with multiple Obies and won a Tony Award for Best Regional Theatre Company!

In "2012-The Musical!," a small political theater company, Theater BAM!, finds itself at a crossroads: should they keep telling the stories they feel can change the world (and starve while telling them), or feed at the corporate trough, and be the mouthpiece for The Man? Tough decision. But before having to make it, they are offered an artistic commission that may save the company; all they have to do is create a new play, "2012 - The Musical!" But is it political? Will it keep with the company's original mission? What's the true purpose of this frivolous production, and who's really bankrolling the thing? Find out this and more in this sardonic look at the art of Mass Distraction.
