WORLD PREMIERE

Draw the Circle

Directed by Chay Yew

Redefining the limits of unconditional love

The funny, deeply moving story of a bewildered immigrant Muslim family coming to terms with a child who defies their expectations of what it means to have a daughter when that child transitions from one gender to another.

AGE RECOMMENDATION

This very human and personal performance confronts issues faced by transitioning persons and their loved ones. It will be best appreciated by patrons ages 16 and older.

Developing Draw the Circle at the Brooklyn BEAT Festival (Starting at 2:53)

“effortless blend of comedy and intense intimacy”
