In this funny, curiously potent play, five people enroll in an adult creative drama class at a small-town community center. Over the course of six weeks they are led through theater games and exercises into murky and dangerous psychological waters. By the end of the class, layers of emotional baggage are stripped off to reveal how truth, change and public performance can possibly "set the body and spirit free." A Northwest premiere, critically acclaimed playwright Annie Baker’s Circle Mirror, Transformation won the 2009 Obie Award for Best New American Play and garnered accolades Off Broadway and beyond.
