TICKETS FOR ‘CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION’
Circle Mirror Transformation, written by Annie Baker, is a beautifully crafted script that landed itself, with hilarious detail and clarity, on Top Ten lists of The New York Times and The New Yorker for 2010.
In an artsy small town, an unlikely collection of strangers sign up for Marty’s “Adult Creative Drama” class: a recently divorced carpenter, a high school junior, a former actress, and Marty’s husband. Unfolding like a charmingly funny indie film, the group plays Marty’s imaginative (and sometimes awkward) theatre games. But as their relationships develop over the course of the summer, the seemingly silly games generate some real-life drama. Circle Mirror Transformation stars Boni McIntyre, Dan Morrison, Ivy King, Kathleen Macari, and Dennis Elkins
“Annie Baker’s play is an absolute feast. Circle Mirror Transformation is the kind of unheralded gem that sends people into the streets babbling and bright-eyed with the desire to spread the word. The play traces the lives of a handful of small-town Vermont residents who gather each week for an acting class taught at the local community center. By the play’s end we seem to see to the very bottom of these souls, and feel how the artificial intimacy of the acting class has shaped their lives in substantial ways.” — NY Times.
