Huntington Theatre Company presents breakout writer Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation. Set in the fictional town of Shirley, Vermont, the play follows four students in a creative drama class as they experiment with theatre games. In the process, hearts are quietly torn apart and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won. This new comedy, which mixes antic sadness and hilarious detail, was a runaway off-Broadway hit.

  • on Where to Park
    Parking is a pain, but so is public transit as there are no close T stops.
  • on Where to Park
    Check the Calderwood's website for info on decently priced parking garages.
  • on What to Wear
    Cloths are a good idea, especially as the weather is turning chilly.

I found this event very insightful. All they really used were a mirrior, small props, examples: beach ball I belieave and a hula hoop, and of course the stage.

Just a simple production about life in a drama class.

This is a play set in a fictional small town in Vermont, which takes place between four adult ed drama class students and their teacher over the course of their six-week class. It uses drama exercises and break-time chat as the vehicle to depict the characters' emotional journeys and interrelationships. The play was well-acted and the characters were interesting and believable, but there wasn't enough going on, either psychologically or in terms of external action to really engage me fully.

Quiet but well worth it. Annie Baker seems to have a knack for capturing her character's human quirks in a realistic and endearing way.

Description

Written by Annie Baker
Directed by Melia Bensussen

This fall, three Boston theatre companies will team up to produce breakout writer Annie Baker’s first three plays — Circle Mirror Transformation, produced by the Huntington Theatre Company (October 15 — November 14), Body Awareness, produced by SpeakEasy Stage Company (October 22 — November 20), and The Aliens, produced by Company One (October 22 — November 20). All set in the fictional town of Shirley, VT, the plays will run together in the first-ever festival dedicated to the work of this wryly observant young writer. The plays present a special opportunity to examine the rich and varied lives of a small town filled with humor, good intentions, unintended consequences, and accidental beauty.
