The Playground at Mt. Greenwood
The Playground brings circus theater to Mount Greenwood Park on Saturday, September 26, from 3:30 to 4:30 PM, using clowning, movement, and wit to examine political and cultural division. Created by Kat Harvey and Ryan Huemmer with their ensemble, the site-specific show drops a group of strangers with opposing beliefs into an unlikely collision — then treats the tension with curiosity rather than preachiness. Circus spectacle fills in when words fall short, making this a thoughtful but playful option for a late-September afternoon. Free, outdoors, and suitable for audiences who appreciate their social commentary with a side of physical comedy.
