SF Mime Troupe’s ”A Red Carol”

Broadcast on December 24, 2020

Chris Garlock and Ed Smith are off for the holiday; they'll be back next week with a New Year's Eve all-labor music call-in show.

This week's show: "People always think this story is about you,” Bob Crachit tells Scrooge in this original radio drama based on the Charles Dickens classic "A Christmas Carol."

“But it ain’t about you, it’s about us - and how we let ourselves get infected with your ideas, your greed, your lies, its you steppin’ over the hungry and homeless and us following your lead, it’s us lettin’ you turn our government into a casino, listenin’ while you say day after day that profit is the new god, and us not standin’ up and shouting "NO!"'

“It ain’t about you," Cratchit says. "It’s about us.”

​A Red Carol is leavened with labor songs, and features a 10 person cast that includes present and veteran SF Mime Troupers. As with all Mime Troupe projects they're supported directly by you! If you can, please make a donation by Clicking Here. (suggested $20 donation)
