We have been receiving so many heartfelt responses from our audience letting us know how deeply moved they have been by Deen's Draw the Circle. One sent us a note to say, "Though I consider myself very open to life lived in any configuration, I experienced angles I had not understood before. This was a gift." Another responded by writing us, "Draw the Circle was one of the most profound and life-changing performances I have ever seen."

We always encourage our audiences to go deeper and be part of the conversation. If Draw the Circle leaves you wanting to learn more or do more, please visit the links listed here.

"You don’t have to know anything about “trans issues” to see this play. And at the same time, there is a lot happening in the state of North Carolina and elsewhere that will directly affect the lives of transgender people, and you will leave this play understanding a little more about what the experience of being transgender is like."-Mashuq Mushtaq Deen

"Sometimes Draw the Circle gets labeled a ‘trans play,’ but I don’t think it is. It’s fundamentally a story about family. A story about parents and children. Most of all, there are no bad guys in this play. There are people struggling to love in a world that is changing around them, and sometimes the struggle is the love. I will do my best to bring all of that struggle to the stage … and you are welcome to bring it to the theatre."
