Possibilidad, or Death of a Worker
What:
San Francisco Mime Troupe Returns To Mateel, July 31st
On Saturday, July 31st, the Mateel Community Center in Redway will host the Tony Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe, who will present their latest theatrical work, Possibilidad, or Death of a Worker. The play tells the story of workers at a small U.S. factory that is shutting down, causing them to lose their jobs, their last two weeks of pay, and their retirement funds, which were raided over the years to pay stock dividends. Despondent, they put in their last shift and raise a glass to their years together. As they are leaving the factory for the last time, one of the workers gets snagged on a machine. Interpreting this as an act of defiance, “The Boss” calls Security, the situation escalates, and before anyone has a chance to think, the workers have accidentally occupied the factory.
All “heck” breaks loose from here taking you on a theatrical journey you won’t want to miss. Admission is at the door only for a price of $20 MCC members and $22 general. Doors open at 6:30pm with dinner available for purchase. The Mime Troupe band plays a set of live music beginning at 7:30pm and the performance starts at 8:00. For more information call 923-3368 or visit www.mateel.org for more info.
