In an artsy small town, an unlikely collection of strangers sign up for Marty's "Adult Creative Drama" class: a recently divorced carpenter, a high school junior, a former actress, and Marty's husband. Unfolding like a charmingly funny indie film, the group plays Marty's imaginative (and sometimes awkward) theatre games. But as their relationships develop over the course of the summer, the seemingly silly games generate some real-life drama. This delightful comedy from new playwright Annie Baker landed on Top Ten lists of The New York Times and The New Yorker for 2010, and won the Obie Award for Best New American Play.
Notice to patrons still seeking information about Light in the Piazza: all GoTickets will still be honored for Circle Mirror Transformation, which replaced Piazza due to scheduling changes. Those who missed our initial announcement may still find the details here.
Our 2013 April Fools Video:
This year, we announced in the morning a "Five-Hour Video Contest," with a set of entry requirements including "A wild animal" and "One or more simulated deaths." The prize was a choice of $1000 or to direct an upcoming show. During the day, there was a great deal of online controversy about whether there were in fact bats in the building. In the afternoon, our "winner" was posted, Garney Johnson (the director of our upcoming Circle Mirror Transformation and the actual writer of this parody song), who selected the "director" prize. Don't worry, that's not how we actually choose directors. Thanks to all who enjoyed the ride!
