Description
San Francisco Mime Troupe – Steel Town – Vinyl Album
Brand new, never played and still sealed in the factory plastic seal with jacket punch
Flying Fish Records 1984 FF 347
A musical comedy
Although this California company began doing silent mime plays, it soon evolved into a collective of artists more interested in avant‐garde performance pieces and highly stylized dramatics that mimic more than mime. The troupe was founded in 1962 by R. G. Davis, who had studied pantomime in Paris. By the late 1960s the groups agenda was defiantly political, yet it often used satire and commedia dell arte theatrics in performances about very serious topics. They have no artistic director but instead work as a committee in devising scripts and performance ideas. Much of the time is spent touring, and many of the performances are outdoors. The unique company won a Tony Award in 1987 for its excellence in regional theatre.
