DESCRIPTION:This annual Free 4th of July Event is a San Francisco institution that is a 
 MUST SEE.  The opener is a fabulous song and dance performance by the 
 Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a gay men's theater group that is itself 
 among the pride and joys of San Francisco.  Bring your suntan/sunscreen 
 lotion as needed, water and refreshments for a picnic and get there by 1:30 
 p.m. to enjoy the musical warmup of the Mime Troupe's orchestra that opens 
 the show with the irreverent and far more singable version of the Star 
 Spangled Banner national anthem by Jimi Hendrix.\nThe Mime Troupe came from 
 the Actor's Worshop of the San Francisco Labor School of the 1950s, 
 formerly known as the Tom Mooney Labor School of the 1940s.  \nSynopsis for 
 this year's show:\nPity the poor 1 per cent. Abused in that sliver of press 
 they don’t own, condemned in the streets by a rabble who don’t 
 appreciate the benefits of being trickled down upon, and raked over the 
 coals by the few politicians who aren’t lined up to kiss their wealth and 
 power. Talk about an oppressed minority! Finally, someone is stepping up to 
 tell the story of these steaming sacks of benevolence as the San Francisco 
 Mime Troupe presents THE LAST ELECTION, a tale that will warm the heart of 
 every billionaire. Based on the classic 19th century melodrama The Poor of 
 New York, the Troupe turns the story on its head, telling it from the point 
 of view of the misunderstood Godzillionaires who have made this country 
 what it is today: broke. \nSee
