Billy is a young man born deaf and raised in a loud, opinionated family where his parents and siblings never bothered to learn sign language, requiring him to adapt to the hearing world. When he meets Sylvia, a young woman from a deaf family who introduces him to deaf culture, Billy suddenly feels confidence and a sense of belonging to a "tribe" he's never known before. Winner of the 2012 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, Tribes is a poignant new drama about love, family, and finding one's voice.

Tribes is directed by Dave Landis (Assassins; Hairspray) and features Playhouse on the Square Associate Company Members Devin Altizer (Assassins; One Man, Two Guvnors) as Billy, Julia Masotti (The Seagull; Peter Pan) as Sylvia, and Cameron Reeves (Assassins; One Man, Two Guvnors) as Daniel. Tribes also features Playhouse on the Square Resident Company Members Irene Crist (Other Desert Cities, The Lyons) as Beth and Morgan Howard (The Seagull; Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike) as Ruth. Barclay Roberts (Gypsy) returns to The Circuit Playhouse stage as Christopher.

Tribes runs April 10 - May 3 at The Circuit Playhouse and is sponsored Amy Hertz & Robert Shankman. The Pay What You Can performance is Thursday, April 16th and is sponsored by ArtZone/AutoZone and Southland Park Gaming and Racing. The Circuit Playhouse is located at 51 S. Cooper St. For more information or to make reservations, please call 901-726-4656 or visit playhouseonthesquare.org
