"Who Am I This Time" presented by Circle Theater

WHO AM I THIS TIME?
play program



A Dear Friend and The Travelling Toe attended the Saturday matinee performance of a lovely play, "Who Am I This Time?" at the Circle Theatre located in downtown Fort Worth.

The play is really titled "Who Am I This Time (& Other Conundrums of Love)".  The play was written by Aaron Posner.

Notes from the program about the play:

Aaron Posner brings together three tales of love by Kurt Vonnegut that may seem uncharacteristically sentimental for the author of "Slaughterhouse-Five".  


Kurt Vonnegut
author


The central story of the play is a romance that unfolds at the North Crawford Mask and Wig Club, a community theatre, which Posner invites us to locate in whatever familiar region the play is performed. This setting provides the premise for the ensemble: a group of small-town amature actors, performing stories about their lives.

For the performances at the Circle Theatre West Crawford was set in Texas, but of course!

There are 6 actors in the production and each are cast in various roles.  Some even play musical instruments as the part of their character.  And something not usually done is that the actors "break" the wall between them and the audience by interacting with us during the play. One last note is to the title, it is based on the premise that as the actors gather to start a new production, they ask: who am I this time!

Both Dear Friend and The Travelling Toe loved this play and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Great story and great acting!

Community theater rocks!!
