Get in the car, we’re taking a road trip.

Driving in Circles is a new solo show traversing the highway between confessional monologue, stand-up comedy, and rock concert (think: NANETTE meets HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, or Mike Birbiglia with music). Set to an “astonishingly cool” art-pop score, DRIVING traces the aftermath of intimate violence—mapping our hero’s darkly funny, deeply felt, defiantly hopeful journey through the bodymind-altering landscapes of trauma towards something like happiness.
