NERVOUS THEATRE remounts their acclaimed, immersive production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle at The Ellen Theatre. Following sold-out runs this summer at Tinworks Art and Missoula’s Westside Theater, the nomadic theatrical collective returns with their radically reimagined production of Bertolt Brecht’s urgent political fable. A multitude of colorful characters are played by only four actors in this epic theatrical event. In the outbreak of war, a mother abandons her son. Grusha, a kitchen maid, rescues the child and embarks on a perilous journey. "Terrible is the temptation to be good..."

The Caucasian Chalk Circle is directed by Connor Berkompas and created in collaboration with the company, which includes Danielle N. Sather, Isabel Shaida, Gabriel Taurman and Sympathie the Clown. The Caucasian Chalk Circle runs October 7 and 8 at The Ellen Theatre. Performances start at 7:30pm, doors open at 6:30pm.

Please note: Throughout the performance, patrons will be asked to move to and from different seating configurations. Nervous Theatre aims to make this immersive event as accessible as possible. Please reach out to The Ellen box office with any concerns regarding mobility. There will be no late seating due to the immersive nature of the staging. Run time: 2 hours.
