See Circle Round Live!

Join host Rebecca Sheir and composer Eric Shimelonis, plus a talented cast of actors, as they bring Circle Round stories to life on stage. Some performances feature favorite tales from the archives; others include a live recording of brand new tales.

We're also circling round at independent bookstores and exciting venues across the country to celebrate the Circle Round picture book series! At each stop, Rebecca Sheir and Eric Shimelonis host a unique story time with live music plus a meet-and-greet/book-signing.

Want to receive early access to live events? Circle Round Club members enjoy a week-long pre-sale before every ticketed event. Support our public radio podcast and become a member today!
