CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION traces a summer community center acting class in Shirley, Vermont where five lost souls find themselves relating through a series of wacky acting exercises. The unexpected intimacy of the class creates an unlikely Petri dish where funny, surprising and poignant secrets are revealed.  Extended twice and brought back for a return engagement at Playwrights Horizons, CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION garnered great critical acclaim and audience response. The play was honored at last year’s Obie Awards (off-Broadway’s equivlent of the Tony Awards) with awards for Best New American Play, Best Ensemble Performance, and Best Direction.

Charles Isherwood raved in The New York Times, calling the play, “Rich, unforgettable theater. The kind of unheralded gem that sends people into the streets babbling and bright-eyed with the desire to spread the word. For lovers of real acting, Ms. Baker’s play is an absolute feast.”
