Fringe Encore: CIRCUMSCRIBED by Noam Osband

Internationally-touring storyteller Noam Osband brings his new show, Circumscribed: A True Tall Tale of One Father, Two Sons, and Thousands of Foreskins, back to Studio 34 after its sold-out run at the Philly Fringe. It's a show about growing up with a father who was a mohel (Jewish ritual circumciser) who buried foreskins at home, failed efforts at finding paternal figures after his untimely death, and wrestling with circumcising his own kid. Weaving together family video, pictures, and audio recordings, this comedic storytelling is a perfect show about the loveable eccentrics we call family.
