The top edge of the poster has a drawing of bundles of grain, gears, and flowers overlaid with a banner that has the text: "The San Francisco Mime Troupe" with a red, black, and blue star logo. The center of the poster has a colorful stylized drawing. The foreground of the drawing has a crowd of people seen from behind marching down a city street with lit torches. At the center of the drawing a winding road rises up a hill that is topped by a building resembling the White House. The sky behind the house is dark purple and stormy with bolts of lightning and a large vampire figure in dark robes rising up from behind the hill. The top of the drawing has the text: "1600 / Transylvania / Avenue" ( a play on the actual White House address of 1600 Pennyslvania Avenue). -LMC]
