Project Description
With support from CAC, the San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT) will strengthen its organizational capacity to continue delivering bold, justice-driven theater and community engagement. Funds will support core staffing, collective artist stipends, and the delivery of our 2025–2026 programming, including our free summer touring shows, the winter production Red Carol, and the Youth Theater Project (YTP), a paid, after-school program for BIPOC youth in San Francisco public schools.
Founded in 1959, SFMT is a democratically run collective that creates accessible, high-impact performances exploring working-class struggles and systemic injustice. CAC funding will help sustain our equity-focused operations, deepen community partnerships, and expand outreach to underserved audiences across the Bay Area. This support ensures we continue to reach thousands annually through free, inclusive, and transformative arts experiences rooted in cultural relevance and social change.
Organization Summary
Our core programs and services include our legendary live musical production, presented annually in Northern California public parks from Independence Day to Labor Day; the eight-week intensive Youth Theater Program, challenging hundreds of young people with playwriting and performance workshops; the Young California Writers Project, our partnership with Balboa High School that support writing and presentation skills. We also work in our community on projects like the restoration of Juana Alicia’s powerful mural Para Las Rosas.
