Mary Jones (Velina Brown) knows all about fear. As a top agent for I.C.E. &#8211; Immigration and Customs Enforcement &#8211; she knows how to stoke fear to keep her country safe. Fear of people like Bahdoon Samakab (Rotimi Agbabiaka), a Somali refugee escaping oppression, fear of Cliodhna Aghabullogue (Lizzie Calogero), an Irish woman yearning to be American, and fear of Zaniyah Nahuatl (Marilet Martinez), whose family comes from&#8230; here. As a foreigner in a land her people have worked for thousands of years suddenly Zaniyah is a criminal, an illegal, a &#8220;bad hombre.&#8221; What part of herself will this American give up to pass as &#8220;American?&#8221; Will she? Can she? Should she? Can someone leave part of themselves behind without losing their mind? And is it better or worse that she crossed the border to find Agent L. Mary Jones &#8211; the woman she loves?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Written by Michael Gene Sullivan<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Music by Michael Bello<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lyrics by Ira Marlowe<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Directed by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe with Rotimi Agbabiaka assistant directing<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">WALLS features Mime Troupe Collective Members Rotimi Agbabiaka, Velina Brown, Lizzie Calogero and Marilet Martinez<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And band members Patrick Byers, Andrew Niven and Daniel Savio<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/o\/hosted-by-mateel-community-center-7647489303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3490 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mateel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/San-Francisco-Mime-Troupe-WALLS-poster.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco Mime Troupe - WALLS\" width=\"600\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mateel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/San-Francisco-Mime-Troupe-WALLS-poster.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mateel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/San-Francisco-Mime-Troupe-WALLS-poster-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/mateel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/San-Francisco-Mime-Troupe-WALLS-poster-560x684.jpg 560w, https:\/\/mateel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/San-Francisco-Mime-Troupe-WALLS-poster-500x611.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What: San Francisco Mime Troupe &#8211; WALLS When: July 15, Doors &amp; dinner at 6:30pm, Mime Troupe band at 7:30,\u00a0Curtain at 8pm Cost: Advance tickets $18 online only, $22 at the door ($2 discount for Mateel Community Center members) Facebook Event Page Every summer the Mateel sponsors a performance from[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3489"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3489"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3489\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3695,"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3489\/revisions\/3695"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mateel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
