The Playground at Graver

The Playground brings circus theatre to Graver Park on Friday evening, September 25, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM, using acrobatics, clowning, and wordplay to explore political and cultural divides. Created by Kat Harvey and Ryan Huemmer, the piece drops a group of strangers with opposing beliefs into an unlikely collision, treating the friction with curiosity rather than cynicism. The circus elements step in when words run out, which keeps the tone playful rather than preachy. A fitting outdoor option for a September evening in Beverly.
