Tales of the Resistance

Noir! Sci Fi! Horror! Adventure!

Can the revolution be social distanced? Find out this Summer with the San Francisco Mime Troupe as they present 4 series of original political comedy audio plays, broadcast bi-weekly, each written and performed by Mime Troupe veterans and newcomers, and each in a different style.

We will kick off with the noir detective series JADE, FOR HIRE! looking for work in a nation in a race and class war with itself in the episode “The Mystery of the Missing Worker.”

Then join Novice Nurse Susie Terse in “The Price of Infection,“ as Nurse Susie must find a way to deliver vital antiviral medicine while navigating a tightrope between the forces of Corporate America and roaming bands of anti-vaxxers.

FEAR OF THE DARK is the horror series, and will start with “The Good Cop,” in which MAGA hat wearing, right-wing immigrant Primo is tormented by his racist fears, and how - blinded by tear gas - he is haunted by his hate as caught in a protest for justice turned riot.

The last series is the science fiction of “DIMENSION 2020!”, and its first episode “It Came…From R&D!” Greg seemed to everyone like a mild mannered software developer. No one could predict that his invention could either save democracy, or lock the country into an endless cycle of tyranny and oppression. So there’s that.

Each series will have two episodes, which cycle through the summer, culminating in a finale where all four storylines converge.

Doesn’t that sound cool?

Featured performers will include Michael Gene Sullivan, Keiko Shimosato-Carreiro, Lisa Hori-Garcia, Ed Holmes, Velina Brown, Brian Rivera, Lizzie Calogero, Andre Amarotico, and many more!
