San Francisco Mime Troupe in Berkeley Parks

Last Supper?
The San Francisco Mime Troupe celebrates another year of free performances in parks.

This summer it’s Godfellas.

The San Francisco Chronicle writes:

“…one of the company’s sharpest, funniest and most fundamentally patriotic, original musical comedies…penetratingly pertinent political satire, expertly performed by six remarkably versatile and tuneful actors and staged with comic snap.”

Berkeley performances:
July 8 & 9 at Cedar/Rose Park
August 12 & 13 at Live Oak Park
August 26 & 27 at Willard Park
