Join the talented cast for six shows from November 10th to 18th.
The Shelburne Players will present its 41st show, "Circle Mirror Transformation," taking the stage at the Historic Shelburne Town Hall from November 10th to 18th. Featuring five actors from Shelburne, Burlington and St. Albans, this talented cast will put on six shows, including four evening performances and two matinees.
When four lost New Englanders who enroll in Marty's six-week-long community-center drama class begin to experiment with harmless games, hearts are quietly torn apart, and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won. A beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with hilarious detail and clarity, the antic sadness of a motley quintet.
"Annie Baker's play is an absolute feast. Circle Mirror Transformation is the kind of unheralded gem that sends people into the streets babbling and bright-eyed with the desire to spread the word. The play traces the lives of a handful of small-town Vermont residents who gather each week for an acting class taught at the local community center. By the play's end we seem to see to the very bottom of these souls, and feel how the artificial intimacy of the acting class has shaped their lives in substantial ways." - NY Times
