The Circle Table explores several vignettes threading characters and relationships via FaceTime/phone calls and asks: How does digital communication hamper or enhance analog components of life like love, family, depression, self-exploration and fulfillment? This play attempts to find out. A formerly dorky actor reconnects with his high school crush. A friend group’s connection falters when their most thoughtful pal goes to a different college. That thoughtful pal is clinically depressed. An aspiring fashion blogger tries not to bum out her mother. A temporarily long-distance couple flubs FaceTime sex. The border between authenticity and curation blurs as our characters converse, ponder, search.
