Chosen as a "Top 10 Plays of 2008"
by Creative Loafing!
Circumference of a Squirrel
by John Walch, a one-man play performed by Gavin Hawk, with direction by Larry Silverberg.
August 3-23

Tickets are "Pay-What-You-Can"

Meet Chester, a young man with many obsessions: his father, his mother, his ex-wife, the virology of rabies, and most importantly... squirrels.

Circles, both real and figurative, whirl out of control in this darkly comic one-man show. And at the center of them all sits an enigmatic squirrel. Orbiting that squirrel is Chester, a self-described rodentophobe who spins the outlandish, funny, and bruising tale of growing up with a father who developed a rabid hatred for squirrels -- a hatred that eventually infected every aspect of his and his son's life. Pursued by memories of his intolerant father and the legacy of bigotry, Chester is pulled into the black hole at the center of his own life where he encounters the mistakes, the fears, the guilt, and the humanity that make him whole again.

Performances are: Tuesdays at 7:30 pm; Friday and Saturday nights at 11 pm.
