Circle Circle dot dot, San Diego's only entirely community-inspired production company is excited to launch the first-annual "Inspired Community" New Play Festival this April 18th & 19th at Bread & Salt in San Diego, CA. The company, who prides themselves on creating nothing but original performance pieces derived from true-life stories and communal conversations, is excited to open the doors of their process to local audiences with the hopes to gain feedback on 4 original scripts that the organization is considering for to produce in the future. They are launching this first-ever reading workshop festival to invite audiences to hear the new pieces that are in various states of 'completion' so they may have a say in the outcome of the work that is being produced by the company, and take part in a more 'hands-on' process of script creation. The festival will present readings from the 4 following new plays that have been carefully selected by the Circle company for development:
Surrogacy Story
By Krystal Taylor-Kahill

The "Inspired Community" Reading Festival will present readings of each of these pieces in various stages of evolution. The first script featured in the reading (Surrogacy Story) is in the earliest stage of development, and will be presented around a table. As the day continues, the presentation of each script will evolve in style. Each reading features built-in time to collect audience feedback on the work, as well as a post-show Salon where audiences can discuss the work they just experienced and enjoy a silent auction, snacks and beer+wine.
