CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION
by Annie Baker
June 24, 25, July 1, and 2, 2011 at 7:30pm
June 26 and July 3, 2011 at 3:30pm
When four lost New Englanders who enroll in Marty's six-week-long community-center drama class begin to experiment with harmless games, hearts are quietly torn apart, and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won. A beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with hilarious detail and clarity, the antic sadness of a motley quintet.
Winner of the 2010 Obie Award for Best New American Play.
Voted one of the top ten plays of 2009 by The New York Times and The New Yorker.
Named one of the best plays of 2009-2010 in The Best Plays Theatre Yearbook.
"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.
"...orchestrated with a subtlety and unfailing naturalness that make the play's small revelations disarming and unexpected. The characterizations display a miniaturist attention to detail that goes down to the bone...Baker is never blind to their weaknesses and faults, yet regards them all with a warm, empathetic eye." --Variety.
"Smartly, sneakily, Baker gives us the rare theatercentric play that's not self-obsessed. [CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION] is about real people exploring their lives through tiny leaps of faith and creativity." --BackStage.
"Baker develops her characters slowly through their interactions each week in class, which is the only place we see them. Naturally, their real, offstage lives gradually infiltrate the classroom, revealing insights and transformations both humorous and heartbreaking." --Associated Press.
"Reverberates with seduction and sorrow...the play's final scene is devastatingly gentle." --Village Voice.
