What's a president to do??? With his small African nation in a sham­
bles, Winston Luthulu (Tony Haney) is caught in the middle. Colonel
Zebediah Obeh, Mozamgolan Freedom Fighter (Jesse Moore) in
shackles at last and special CIA operative, Regretta Johnson
(Audrey Smith) don't help matters a bit. From the 1987 Tony Award
winning S.F. Mime Troupe's new African spy/thriller — "The
Mozamgola Caper."

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. Advance ticket outlets include Artichoke Music, House of
Sound Records, La Paloma, Laughing Horse Books, Pastawords and Talk
¡ng Drum Bookstore.

Former PCC Student
Featured in "Tour of Duty
F F
Portland Community College alumnus, Clyde R. 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. "Anybody can do a ghetto, 'rehabilitate me' role, I
didn't go to school to do that. But to portray this kind of historical charac­
ter is what I went to school fo r."
Jones, whose face is familiar to many due to the popularity of some of
his extraordinary print ads; he was Ritz Cigarettes' 'Ritz Man and the
"Max Man" for World of Curls; is making quite a name for himself as a fine
actor. He has been featured on top shows, such as "The Bronx Zoo" and
"Fall Guy," and starred in the Motown nostalgia film, "M otown's
Mustang," (now available on video) featuring many of the labels top sixties
hits.
. .i
Before leaving Portland Community College in 1983, Jones starred in urn
many of the school's classic productions, including "Death Takes A Holi­
day" and "The Emperor Jones." After leaving Portland, Jones attended
the University of Southern California (USC) where he was featured on the
now famous "Looking Good-Men of USC" calendar.
"Tour of Duty" airs Thursday Night at 8 p.m. on CBS.
