Join Small is All Productions for Circle and Square, a play designed for ages 2-5 and their parents/caregivers to attend and enjoy together. In this interactive, mostly nonverbal story, audiences meet the free spirit Circle, followed by highly structured Square. These two characters have a hard time figuring out how to play together because they are so different. Throughout the play, Circle and Square discover each other's unique gifts and how they can be combined to have even more fun together than apart. Registration required - registration will open 3 weeks before the event. Questions? Please call (919) 560-8592 or email Kristen at kstockdale@dconc.gov. This program is sponsored by the Durham Library Foundation. If you have questions about accessibility, program stimulation levels, and/or need disability accommodations, please contact us at (919) 560-8592.

Small is All Productions Presents: Circle & Square @ Southwest is a free, interactive theater performance designed specifically for toddlers, preschoolers, and their caregivers. The story follows two contrasting characters who must figure out how to bridge their differences to play together. Because the performance is mostly nonverbal, it is highly accessible for very young children who are still developing their language skills. To attend this performance at the Southwest Regional Library in Durham, you must register in advance. Registration opens exactly three weeks before the event date on September 5, 2026. The library offers plenty of free parking in its dedicated lot, and the meeting room is easily accessible with a stroller. If your child has sensory sensitivities, you can contact the library staff ahead of time to discuss the stimulation levels of the show. This event makes an excellent Saturday morning outing because it offers a gentle introduction to live performance without the pressure of a traditional theater setting. The thirty-minute runtime is perfectly calibrated for short attention spans, leaving you with plenty of time to check out books and head home before afternoon naptime.
