</SPAN><SPAN STYLE='font-size:14pt'><I>Synopsis </I></SPAN></FONT></B><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:14pt'><I> – CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION follows five small-town Vermonters as they take a community acting class, each with their own expectations. They soon learn more about each other and themselves than they bargained for. In this hilarious and touching play, we catch glimpses of the poignant drama that animates ordinary lives. Called an “absorbing, unblinking and sharply funny play” by The New York Times, CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION celebrates the subtle and surprising power of creativity.<BR>
<BR>
CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION premiered in New York at Playwrights Horizons, won the 2010 Obie Award for Best New American Play and was voted one of the top ten plays of 2009 by The New York Times, Time Out New York, and The New Yorker. It was recently named one of the best plays of 2009-2010 in the latest edition of The Best Plays Theater Yearbook.<BR>
