Open Calls
Auditions for "Circle Mirror Transformation" by Annie Baker
Sunday April 6 (4-7 pm)
Monday, April 7 (6-9 pm)
Brief Synopsis of the Play:
Four lost New Englanders enroll in Marty's six-week-long community center drama class. As they experiment with harmless games, hearts are quietly torn apart, and tiny wars of epic proportion are waged and won. We see in hilarious detail and clarity, the antic sadness of a motley quintet.
Director's/Writer's vision:
What roles do we play in life and how do we discover our voice? How do we learn to trust, to risk, and to believe in ourselves and our ability to reinvent our lives? Sometimes, even if unsure, you need to take a step.
