Circle Theatre Announces Regional Premiere
of Pulitzer Prize Winning Water By The Spoonful
Fort Worth Sundance Square — February 29 — Water by the Spoonful is a play about the power of meeting.
We meet in Philadelphia, where Elliot has returned from Iraq and is struggling to find his place in the world. We meet in an online chat room, a digital sanctuary where recovering addicts keep each other alive, hour by hour, day by day. We meet in Puerto Rico. We meet in Japan. We meet in the moment and outside of the moment, as boundaries of family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace. Birth families splinter and online families collide in this beautiful play that reminds us of the power of family, the need for connection, and the healing value of forgiveness. Meet us at Circle Theatre this March to experience this unforgettable Pulitzer Prize-Winning Regional Premiere.
