Abstract

The term “guerrilla theater” appears for the first time in an essay by R. G. Davis, then director of San Francisco Mime Troupe, published in the Tulane Drama Review in 1966 and quickly gains adherence in the environment of political unrest and countercultural experimentation of the 1960s and 1970s alternative theater. This article analyzes the development of Davis’s formulations on the subject between 1965 and 1971, highlighting the experiences of San Francisco Mime Troupe.
