The Department of Theater Studies welcomes you to a screening of Pulitzer Prize Finalist megahype comedy "Circle Jerk" (it's a metaphor, dear), followed by a Q&A to meet the Brooklyn-based creators on Thursday, January 19 in the Ruby Lounge. Watch the trailer for a peek at an intrepid cast's answer to COVID-19 lockdown and our growing social media circus, directed by Rory Pelsue, lobbing smart satire at our dumb webby world. We hope this delightful evening whets your appetite to join forces with Fake Friends during their two-week residency at Duke running February 20-March 3. Join us!
