In a city where nothing is more important than “innovation,” son of immigrants Augie works hard. His friend Fawkes may think patching over problems is counterrevolutionary, but after his shift at the Diner, Augie's life is all about helping his neighbors navigate an increasingly underfunded and inhuman system. His efforts to make up for the cuts are making a real difference, but at what point does he need to stop plugging the holes in the system and try to change it instead? While he is filling holes, a tech genius is busy digging more! As the head of MOPS (The Mayor’s Office of Public Safety) she's all about optimization and “efficiency,” making a city attractive to investors and the right kind of people. Never mind that she has no experience beyond developing a social media app - how hard can government be? Maybe the only real barrier to giving the people what they really want has been the inefficiency of democracy itself. With proudly working-class, red-hatted police officers to clear the streets, San Francisco will soon be a beautiful and prosperous suburb of Silicon Valley - and hopefully in time for the president’s upcoming visit. But if the city is poised to be a calm, efficient paradise why is everything suddenly on... FIRE! For a complete schedule visit sfmt.org or call 415-285-1717.
