Circle Theatre's 31st Season continues with a new, award-winning play by playwright Matthew Lopez, The Whipping Man.

Preview performances are Thursday, March 22; Friday, March 23; and Saturday, March 24 (matinee). The production officially opens Saturday, March 24, at 8:00pm, followed by a post-show party with the cast and crew, sponsored by Oliver's Fine Foods and The Cupcakery.
