Internationally-touring storyteller Noam Osband brings his new show, “Circumscribed: A True Tall Tale of One Father, Two Sons, and Thousands of Foreskins,” to Philly Fringe for its Philadelphia debut at Studio 34. It's a show about growing up with a father who was a mohel (Jewish ritual circumciser) who buried foreskins at home, failed efforts at finding paternal figures after his untimely death, and wrestling with circumcising his own kid. Weaving together family video, pictures, and audio recordings, this comedic storytelling is a perfect show about the loveable eccentrics we call family.
