The 2026 Mainstage Season

CIRCLE MIRROR

TRANSFORMATION

July 24 - Aug 1

Circle Mirror Transformation, by Annie Baker, is a quietly funny and deeply human play that follows five strangers who sign up for a community acting class in a small Vermont town. Through awkward warm-ups, improv games, and unexpected personal revelations, the group forms connections they never anticipated. What begins as a simple class becomes a tender exploration of vulnerability, identity, and the small but meaningful ways we change each other. Both humorous and touching, Circle Mirror Transformation shows how ordinary people come to understand themselves and one another in surprising ways.

CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
