SF Mime Troupe 2014: Ripple Effect

Tony Award-Winning SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPE
Opens 55 th Season with
RIPPLE EFFECT

Skyrocketing rents. Loss of diversity. Evictions, Google Glass wearing nouveau riche,
The War on the Poor. What is The City coming to? The Tony Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT) opens its 55th season with RIPPLE EFFECT, a musical comedic tale of intersecting lives and cultures that reflect the familiar neighborhood tensions that are polarizing San Franciscans today.

Done in their characteristic quick-change, singing & dancing, Commedia dell'Arte political style, a cast of four, playing multiple characters, tell the story of three very different women, all at a critical life point, who find themselves in a boat on San Francisco Bay, brought together by chance. Although they perceive each other as "different", each is a member of the working class and has been betrayed by a system that rewards only the few motivated solely by greed and self-interest.

As they tell their stories, they discover through their failed hopes and aspirations they are more similar than they thought and are connected in ways never imagined. In solidarity, they refuse to let their home town fall into the hands of those who have no heart for it. Their actions will have a positive Ripple Effect.
