SD Fringe Preview: '420 Highku: The Circular Swirls'

Steven Peter Sanders mixes poetry and music for his 2019 San Diego International Fringe show "420 Highku: The Circular Swirls."

"420 HighKu: The Circular Swirls" is a meandering and heartbreaking story of a hippie getting lost in a cluttered mind, succumbing to mental disorders, alcohol use, depression and suicidal thoughts. The story emerges with a positive plea of acceptance, tolerance, spirituality and community.

The show debuts Friday at 9 p.m. at the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater with additional shows on June 8 at 9 p.m., June 10 at 7:30 p.m., June 11 at 6 p.m. and June 14 at 4 p.m.
