San Francisco Mime Troup in Portland The San Francisco Mime Troupe is coming to town with a new political satire, "The Mozamgola Caper." Enlivened with African-inspired dance, music and costumes, it is a powerful, insightful and humorous look at America's foreign policy. Set in Harlem and Mozamgola, a fictional Southern African nation, the play has received rave reviews around the country. The Caifornia Voice called it "powerful" and observed that it illustrates "current political reali ties more comprehensively in two hours than our public school system can in twelve years." "The Mozamgola Caper" was coauthored by the much-acclaimed Free Southern Theater Founder-Playwright John O'Neal. In "Caper’ O’Neal lends a Black perspective to this insightful look at apartheid in Southern Africa and the United States' treatment of developing nations. The 27-year-old San Francisco Mime Troupe, the Nation's best-known ensemble of political satirists, won an underground reputation in the 60 s, international acclaim in the 70's and, finally, a prestigious string of grants and awards in the 80's including a Tony award. Despite its name, the Mime Troupe does not use mime in the pantomime sense, but speech, music and dance in a way that combines comic entertainment with serious analysis of contemporary political issues. The Portland performance will be October 9 and 10, 8 p.m. at the Northwest Service Center, 1819 NW Everett. Proceeds will benefit the Rainbow Coalition, Portlanders Organized for Southern African Freedom and the Ben Linder Memorial Fund. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door and $6 for children 12 and under.

Jones, will be fea tured in this week's episode of the highly acclaimed new CBS series, "Tour of Duty." "I trained for years to do a role like this," says Jones, who shys away from negative roles.
