Nosferatu on the Potomac
Velina Brown, Victor Tomas and Lucy Morgan in San Francisco Mime Troupe’s summer production 1600 Transylvania Avenue: What, no garlic in the White House larder?
Given the events of the last six months, it doesn’t take any stretch of the imagination to picture the spiritual descendents of Vlad the Impaler inhabiting a large white edifice in our nation’s capital—witness such comics as Bill Maher cracking wise that a cadaver dog recently broke away from the search for missing intern Chandra Levy and was found humping Vice-President “Tricky Dick” Cheney’s leg. In that fine spirit comes the San Francisco Mime Troupe’s production of 1600 Transylvania Avenue, which touches down in Sacramento this Thursday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sierra 2 Center’s 24th Street Theatre, 2791 24th St. in Curtis Park. SFMT shows are usually riotously funny, unless you’re a dittohead, and this looks to be no different. Admission is $16, $12 for kids, seniors and students and $10 for groups of 10 or more. For additional info call (415) 285-1717.
