Brecht's THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE

SEE EVENT DETAILS
THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE, by Bertolt Brecht, is the story of a big-hearted servant girl, Grusche, who rescues an abandoned baby in the midst of a military coup. "Terrible is the temptation to do good," as Brecht says, and their journey of survival ultimately raises the question: who has parental rights - the rich woman who gave birth to the child, or the poor one who risks everything to protect him? The play escalates into vaudeville when Judge Azdak, one of Brecht's zaniest comic inventions, shows up to adjudicate the case between competing mothers.
Guest director Domenique Lozano (see Guest Artists tab) explains why she chose this play: "As artists we have a responsibility to reflect what's going on in the world around us. And there's a lot going on right now that warrants attention. THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE is about many things: war, what it means to be a decent human, personal responsibility, ownership, courage. It's also a love story - funny, clever, vaudevillian, and musical! So much is contained in this one play!"

All ticket sales online. A limited number of tickets are available 30 minutes prior to the performance at the Box Office window via CASH or CHECK only. Masks are required. Please bring your own. Available on-demand Nov. 20-30.
