SF Mime Troupe Performs Recession Satire, At Montclair Park

On Thursday, the Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe performs "Too Big To Fail" at Montclair Park.

Music begins and 6:30pm, while the show starts in earnest at 7:00pm. It will take place at the ball field and admission is free.

SF Mime celebrates its 50th Anniversary season with a song and dance satire of monumental proportions. It sounds really funny, read the story:

Told in the tradition of the West African Griots, this modern day epic follows Filije, a man in love with his family, his village, and most of all, his goat, Bamusa. What more could a man need to be happy? How about two goats? Three? A flock?

Turned down for a loan by the village micro bank, Filije, now the self-proclaimed Goat Lord of Kanabeedomo, borrows from a new lender in town, a small subsidiary of a much bigger bank in a distant, mystical land called Wall Street. When the economy takes a sudden turn for the worse, the bank gets desperate and calls in Filije's loan.

Is it simply enough to let Filije pay his small debt, or have the Wall Street big-wigs stumbled upon the latest, greatest investment bubble to exploit - goats? How will Filije save himself and his collateral, the beloved Bamusa? More importantly, can America be shifted to a goat economy?
