Circle Mirror Transformation explores the creative and personal journeys of an unlikely collection of strangers who have signed up for an adult drama class: the bohemian teacher, Marty, who has had great success with her theatre class for children but who may not be equipped to wrangle students with fully formed neuroses; Marty’s economics professor husband who has enrolled in the class at his wife’s bequest; an awkwardly sweet, recently divorced carpenter who is ready to jump into the dating pool; a vivacious and flirtatious former actress who is new in town; and a sullen but sharply intelligent teenager who becomes the underpinning conscience of the group. Unfolding like a charmingly funny indie film, the students play Marty's imaginative (and sometimes awkward) theatre games. But as their relationships develop over the course of the class, the seemingly silly games generate some real-life drama.

Written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker and presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., Circle Mirror Transformation won the the 2010 Obie Award for Best New American Play.
