Dear Troupers,
As far-right conservatives continue in their attempts to silence women and drag our country back into the past, we here at the Mime Troupe are looking to the future with projects led by our brilliant young students and emerging artists! We have several upcoming events showcasing these sharp, engaging, all-original projects. You, too, can take part in the future of the Mime Troupe by applying for our upcoming summer internships and workshop! Read on to learn more...

| Young California Writers' Project | Monday, March 19th!
|  The Mime Troupe presents another of its youth programs, the Young California Writers' Project!
In cooperation with Balboa High School, for the past ten weeks the Troupe's resident playwright has been working with 12 student writers, helping each one create a short play on whatever issue they want to address.
The final plays will have staged readings - directed and performed by professionals - at the McKenna Theater, 1600 Holloway Avenue, on the campus of San Francisco State University. Come on out and support tomorrow's writers today! Well, not today - Monday, March 19th!
What: Young California Writers' Project (YCWP)
Where: McKenna Theater, 1600 Holloway Avenue on SF State Campus
When: Monday, March 19th, at 7.00 pm
Why: You should help support the upcoming generation of artists - and it's FREE! |
| San Francisco Mime Troupe Presents: | Works of Progress
Last month you had the chance to see one of SFMT's Emerging Artist in Residence,
Andrew Packard present his new play, Box City.
|  Now join us for the inaugural installment of our FREE, new monthly reading series showcasing developing work by fresh, up-and-coming artists from the Bay Area and beyond. This month, SFMT Emerging Artist in Residence (and Works of Progress producer) Jesse Brownstein will present a reading of his new play East Sahara West. This epic love story is set in a fictional North African country suffering under a brutal, decades-long occupation by an invading military force. Young lovers Dina and Firas yearn to be free, and at the heart of their struggle lie the seeds of a populist uprising against the powers that stifle both their love and their country. Featuring some of the finest veteran actors in the Bay, as well as some new and talented faces we're sure to see much more of in the future, East Sahara West is a definite must!
What: Stage Reading of East Sahara West
Where: 855 Treat Ave
When: Friday, March 23rd, at 7.00 pm
Why: You should help support the upcoming generation of artists - and it's FREE!
Note: Seating is limited, first come first served - but lots of floor space!
