About Me

THE SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPE AND BRAVA THEATER CENTER PROUDLY PRESENT THE T.N.T. YOUTH ARTS FESTIVAL...
A celebration of Community Youth Arts culminating in two FREE performances and a big day out in the Mission with every and all youth arts catered for.
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
Okay, we're not those kinda mimes!
Since the 60's we've been doing free political comedy in the park for anybody who will stop and listen; skewering our corrupt politicians, shining the light on their big interest friends and having a good ol' time while doing it!
We're not trapped in boxes or walking invisible dogs. We are satirists; making you laugh at the absurdities of everyday life while helping to point out the problems in it and maybe inspiring one and all to change it.
We are multi-cultural, multi-generational, multi-everything really.
If you like, come on over to WWW.SFMT.ORG and check us out.
Mime: the exaggeration of everyday life in story and song.
If you've never heard us, take a listen now!
