Year three of our romantic site-specific rendezvous took us back to school to the gorgeous UCSD Campus where audiences were invited to play voyeur to the love story of Louise and Joanne as it unfolded before them. Our new tale of love followed these bright young women as they navigated and balanced exploring sexuality with their collegiate life.

Circle Circle dot dot's, "Wrenegades: An Ecological Adventure," was inspired by the multitude of endangered species in San Diego’s unique eco-system and the tumultuous world of local conservationists trying to keep them from slipping into extinction. 

Ed Leopold, a failed doctoral candidate, once cared passionately for the coastal cactus wren whose delicate living necessities put the small bird in danger of going extinct. However, upon failing to petition the wren for the Endangered Species List, Ed’s life spirals downward into a detached career in the disordered world of property development. After several professional blunders, it is while working on a last-ditch project to help a local organization build a hospital that Ed discovers that the will of the cactus wren is stronger than his self-loathing. The spiritual and enchanting world of the San Diego Wildlife bubbles into Ed's reality and brings the dispassionate birder back to estranged roots. 

CCdd used puppetry, music, and dance in the telling of this unique and magical production, appropriate for all audiences.

LGBTQ+ On-Campus is a 2-hour rotating installation project on the SDSU campus inspired by true stories of real current LGBTQ+ students living and working with SDSU.  CCdd’s goal with the piece is to invite on and off campus audiences to experience short/true ‘slice of life’ scenes taking place in the environment where these stories actually occurred in order to share perspective of the modern LGBTQ+ experience on a college campus.

LGBTQ+ On Campus stories include inspiring and eye-opening tales of dating, roommate drama, coming out experiences, gender and sexual exploration, general campus tolerance and intolerance, and a handful of interactive experiences that will invite audiences to explore their own reflective identities all on the exciting and stimulating performance backdrop of a college campus. 

The performance features 9 original short pieces that will be playing on repeat every 15 minutes throughout campus from 2pm-4pm.  

As a one-night-only special fundraising event, Circle Circle dot dot is pleased to present: ' A Christmas Bizarre!' featuring the coolest, festive hepcat around: St. Beat Nick (local comic actor Michael Nieto). The company will be opening the doors of the 10th Ave. Theatre starting at 6pm to invite locals to peruse last-minute Christmas shopping items (jewelry, clothing, artistic knickknacks, and various homemade finery), enjoy wine and beer, or get a photo taken with our merry scenery or our holiday-clad crew.

Starting at 8pm audiences will be invited to take in a festive performance on the 10th Ave. Mainstage featuring sketch comedy shorts of TRUE quirky and hilarious stories of holiday shenanigans, live musical performances by acapella group Pacific Sound San Diego, acoustic tunes by CCdd company members, a holiday drag performance by Sunny Peaks, spoken word holiday limericks, audience interactive games, chances to win fun prizes, and a whole lot of seasonal spirit to fill audiences with joy and cheer.
