Internationally-touring storyteller Noam Osband brings his award-winning show for its Pittsburgh debut. It's a story 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 lovable eccentrics we call family.
