Show Description

Hotel Universe has been the most produced show by the Mime Troupe. Inspired by the real-life story of the International Hotel in San Francisco but written while the company toured through France as a demonstration of how the collective funtions artistically during the writing process. The original happy ending was quickly revised for the local opening, after the tenants' 7 year struggle ended in eviction. As of 1999, the Hotel site still remained an empty hole.
