From the San Francisco Mime Troupe to the son of a famed Bay Area folk musician, there are a lot of cool shows and concerts to catch in the Bay Area this weekend.At a time when the political landscape seems about as solid President Biden’s debating skills; the San Francisco Mime Troupe returns to remind us in its uniquely hilarious fashion: It could be worse. A lot worse.
The politically minded musical theater company returns this week with another new production that, per tradition, will be performed at parks and other outdoor venues through the summer.“American Dreams.” It centers on a Black American who is so fed up with his liberal dreams getting dashed that he throws his support to the Conservative cause, to the dismay of college-professor daughter, who’s wondering if her dreams of a political utopia are nothing more than a mirage.
The show, which touches comically — and from a decidedly left perspective — on such hot-button issues as A.I., student unrest, voting security and more, opens 2 p.m. today at Mission Dolores Park, San Francisco, and plays Saturday in Berkeley. The tour goes through through Sept.
Dinnerstein draws a part of her program from music on “Undersong,” the final installment of a trilogy of albums recorded at her Brooklyn home during the pandemic. She will play Couperin’s “Les Barricades Mystérieuses”; Schumann’s “Arabesque, Op. 18; “Mad Rush” by Philip Glass; Erik Satie’s “Gnossienne No. 3” and Schumann’s “Kreisleriana, Op.16.
Also being presented are “Who’s-Dead McCarthy,” so named for the annoying protagonist named McCarthy who is thrilled to be catching everyone in town up on who is the latest unfortunate person to shuffle off this mortal coil, and “The Coast of Leitrim,” which is about an awkward Irish guy who gets interested in, then obsessed by a younger Polish girl.
