Tue, 08/30/2016 - 6:05pm | Rocket Drew
Welcome to the first full week of the school year :,(. The SF Mime Troupe, a political travelling theatre company performed its current show "Schooled" as part of its 57th season in Davis and Sacramento this past weekend. Rocket talks about the expereince of helping the troupe set up for their Davis performance and seeing the show in Sac. Their entire set and stage are loaded and unloaded from a single Mime Troupe van with their quintessential red star on the side. This show focuses on the issue of corporate interests in the public school system and the merits and detriments of technology. The storyline mirrors this current election cycle with three different characters representing Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump. These three teachers all run against eachother for the position of school president with their competing ideologies of schooling.
