DISRUPTION - A Musical Farce features a four-person cast that includes veteran SF Mime Troupe collective members: Michael Gene Sullivan* (Chester, Hector Washington, Bruce); Alicia M.P. Nelson* (Cecille, Zubari Macintosh, Reporter); and features Lizzie Calogero* (Mr. Lawson, Elizabeth, Chief Canem); Jed Parsario* (Augie Dimalanta, Andy, Mayor, Reporter), Taylor Gonzalez (Voice of Interrogator.)
SFMT BAND: Guinevere Q (Bass, Voice of AHA!); Daniel Savio (Keyboards); and Jason Young (Drums, Percussion, Guitar).

Mixed and Mastered by Taylor Gonzalez
In a city where nothing is more important than “innovation,” son of immigrants Augie Dimalanta (Jed Parsario) works hard. His friend Elizabeth (Lizzie Calogero) may think patching over problems is counterrevolutionary, but after his shift at the “Fried T’ings Diner” Augie's life’s all about helping his neighbors navigate an increasingly underfunded and inhuman system. His efforts to make up for the cuts are making a real difference, but at what point does he need to stop plugging the holes in the system and try to change it instead? And while Augie is filling holes, tech genius Zubari Macintosh (Alicia M. P. Nelson) is busy digging more! As the head of MOPS (The Mayor’s Office of Public Safety) she's all about optimization and “efficiency,” making a city attractive to investors and the right kind of people - and who wouldn’t want that? Never mind that she has no experience beyond developing a social media app - how hard can government be? Maybe the only real barrier to giving the people what they really want all this time has been the inefficiency of democracy itself. And with proudly working-class, red-hatted police officers like Hector Washington (Michael Gene Sullivan) to clear the streets, San Francisco will soon be a beautiful and prosperous suburb of Silicon Valley - and hopefully in time for the president’s upcoming visit. But if the city is poised to be a calm, efficient paradise why is everything suddenly on… FIRE!
