The San Francisco Mime Troupe will make a stop in Santa Cruz on July 13 during their 66th season.
The free, live outdoor theater performance of “Disruption” will take place at the London Nelson Center.
The troupe’s website states: “In a city where nothing is more important than ‘innovation,’ son of immigrants Augie leads a life that is all about helping his neighbors navigate an increasingly underfunded system. Meanwhile, a tech genius is all about making a city attractive to the right kind of people. Who wouldn’t want that?
“Soon San Francisco will be a suburb of Silicon Valley—and just in time for the president’s upcoming visit. But if the city is poised to be a calm, efficient paradise, why is everything suddenly on…FIRE!”
The musical farce features a four-person cast that includes veteran SF Mime Troupe collective members Michael Gene Sullivan (Hector Washington) and Alicia M.P. Nelson (Zubari Macintosh), and features Lizzie Calogero (Elizabeth) and Jed Parsario (Augie Dimalanta).
“Disruption” was written and directed by Sullivan, with additional dialog penned by Marie Cartier plus music and lyrics by Daniel Savio.
Live music starts at 3:30pm and the show begins at 4pm at 301 Center St., Santa Cruz.
