50 Years of the San Francisco Mime Troupe
There's nothing silent about the San Francisco Mime Troupe, which this summer celebrates 50 years of bringing comic political theater to audiences in the Bay Area and around the world. In a special pre-recorded broadcast, we talk to some mime troupe veterans and hear highlights from half a century of musicals with a message. We'll also get a preview of this summer's mime troupe show, "Too Big to Fail."
