Noam Osband has been a journalist, filmmaker, musician, anthropologist and even a street performer outside of Eagles home games. Of late, he’s been a stage performer, presenting his show, “Circumscribed: A True Tale of One Father, Two Sons, and Thousands of Foreskins,” at fringe festivals around the country. It’s a show about his late father, who was a mohel, and Osband’s memories of him and his reflections as he became a father himself.
In September, Osband will bring the show to his adopted hometown of Philadelphia for the first time, with four engagements as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. The 60-minute show will be performed at Studio 34 (4522 Baltimore Ave.) in West Philadelphia on Sept. 5, 6, 27 and 28. Osband spoke with the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent
