Giving theatre lovers a new option to attend the theatre on the traditional dark day on the boards, The Circle Series brings together the New York theatrical community, provides a creative outlet for Circle in the Square Theatre School students and alumni, and showcases new and developing work through the voices of New York’s many talented artists. The series will be programmed with both new plays and classic works and will showcase talent across multiple disciplines. Kicking off will be The Giant Void in My Soul: a play for fools by Bernardo Cubría directed by Felix Solis (August 5), followed by The Great American Negro Experience by Angie Brigitte Jones, directed by Christopher Betts (August 12). Finishing out the month of August will be Roger Q. Mason’s Lavender Men starring Garrett Clayton and directed by Lovell Holder (August 26). The third play on August 19 and additional casting will be announced closer to the start of the series. Each reading will begin at 7:00 PM with doors opening at 6:00 PM for a social hour before the event. For more information, please visit www.thecircleseries.org.
