OFFICE HOUR Announced At Circle Theatre

A penetrating drama that could leap from today's headlines comes to Circle. A troubled student hides behind dark glasses and writes disturbing and provoking literature. Is he venting or really troubled? His professor is the only one willing to get close enough to understand. Will the day end in tragedy, hope...or somewhere in between?
