See Circle Round Live!
Circle Round Live featured host Rebecca Sheir and composer Eric Shimelonis -- plus a talented cast of actors — as they brought Circle Round stories to life on stage. Some performances featured favorite tales from the archives; others included a live recording of brand new tales. Rebecca and Eric also toured the U.S., doing live book readings of the Circle Round picture book series.
Big thanks to all who Circled Round at these exciting events through the years!
