circle players nashville

long copy print and ooh campaign for circle players—a theatrical production company in nashville—that iterates how story and performance can reach into the very depths of who we are as humans and help us come to terms with, and overcome, ugly truths in our lives we keep hidden for years. mostly from ourselves. this is the power of story and performance, and this is timeless, because, after all, it is the story of us, as humans being.

and it all came from designing the ‘c’ and ‘p’ of circle players to look/ read like the ampersand—which, then led us into the duality of story—drama & comedy; love & hate; truth & lies; darkness & light; life & death; actors & audience; war & peace—theatre is the story of us because it helps us connect to something greater, within ourselves. below are some production posters. this was all part of a rebranding exercise that was led by maurizio villarreal.
