What this episode covers

This week, in a nod to the domain one of the Head Mime's favorite podcasts, Lexicon Valley, we deconstruct the now ubiquitous phrase in everyday English, "A Perfect Storm." How did this phrase among all book and movie titles make its way so completely into all parts of daily conversation? Why not, "A Passage to India," or "Absolom! Absolom!" or even "The A Team?" Did some confluence of events occur, by rare coincidence, and combine at the optimal moment to bring the phrase into such prominence? The Head Mime explores the possibilities this week, on the Mimecast. Please subscribe to us on iTunes, and visit our facebook page at facebook.com/mimeseverywhere. Have a question for the Head Mime?

The MimeCast Michael Gene Sullivan The MimeCast is a series of biographical podcast interviews of current and veteran members of the Tony and OBIE award-winning, and despite its name never, ever silent San Francisco Mime Troupe, “America's Foremost Theatre of Political Comedy." For the past 60 years the Mime Troupe has brought its brand of revolutionary theater to audiences across the country and around the world. Their original musical comedies, and some dramas, but mainly comedies, have tackled social, economic, and environmental justice, civil rights, workers rights, gender equality, oppression at home and abroad, and how capitalism is essentially antithetical to democracy. Hundreds of artists, actors, designers, writers, directors, composers, lyricists, and choreographers have helped the Mime Troupe inform, entertain, and stir up the working class over the decades, and the MimeCast is a chance to get to know some of them a little bit better. Hosted by SFMT member Michael Gene Sullivan
