PHOTO CALL: Circle Mirror Transformation Opens Off-Broadway

The world premiere of Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation opened at Playwrights Horizons Oct. 13.

According to production notes, "In Circle Mirror Transformation, when four lost New Englanders enrolled in a Shirley, Vermont, community center drama class experiment with harmless games, hearts are quietly torn and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won. Annie Baker's new comedy is a beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with hilarious detail and clarity, the sweet sadness of a motley quintet."

Sam Gold directs a cast featuring Reed Birney, Tony Award nominee Peter Friedman, Obie Award winner Deirdre O'Connell, Tracee Chimo and Obie Award winner Heidi Schreck.
