Driving in Circles Driving in Circles - Get in the car, we’re taking a road trip. An acclaimed new theatre hybrid solo show traversing the highway between confessional monologue, rock band, original music, concert, and stand-up comedy. Set to Jay Eddy’s self-penned electric art-pop score, Driving in Circles traces the aftermath of intimate violence - mapping our hero’s darky funny, deeply felt, and defiantly hopeful journey through the bodymind-altering landscapes of trauma towards something like happiness.
