DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

Winner of the audience choice award at the NYC Fringe, "Circumscribed" is a comedy storytelling show where Noam Osband talks 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. It’s a show about family, traditions, and the ties…..and cuts that bind. Weaving together family video, pictures, and audio recordings, this comedic storytelling is a perfect show about the loveable eccentrics we call family.
