Circle Series Success!
We had an awesome experience with the Circle Series, presented by Pigasus Institute. When one person asked if we had a 29-hour read, we said, “more like a 4.5 hour read!” Led throughout the day by Joe Calarco and Ben Clark, this cast gathered on the Oklahoma! stage and graciously explored a first-time reading of a brand new iteration of the book, sustained many cuts and changes, even learned a few group tunes before stepping up big time to present the reading in front of the Circle Series’ largest audience.
We are so proud and grateful. We learned a lot. We’re inspired about what’s coming next!
