For the health and safety of both our audiences and SFMT members, a decision was made to cancel their traditional Summer musical tour in the parks. However, rather than going silent, the SFMT is enthused to share their unique style of theatrical performance in a different way, producing their first ever serialized radio play, Tales of the Resistance. Stay safe, keep your mind and body active, and we look forward to being in the parks again soon!Mime on Radio???The Tony Award-Winning SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPEOpens Their 61st Season with TALES OF THE RESISTANCEA New 9 Part Series of Radio Play Podcasts (MimeCasts)In 4 Different Genres: Noir!
