BLUEBARN Theatre Presents Circle Mirror Transformation

A 2009 Obie Winner for Best New Play, Circle Mirror Transformation by Annie Baker, will be shown at BLUEBARN Theatre (www.bluebarn.org/tickets) from September 27 through October 21, every Thursday-Saturday, at 7:30 p.m. It also will show on Sunday, October 7 and 21 at 2 p.m. and October 14 at 6 p.m.

The play is based around the story of students in a community-center acting class who find their lives transformed, their souls reflected, and the patterns of their lives revealed in this extraordinary celebration of ordinary life. As they discover each other through storytelling and deceptively simple games, hearts are won and lost, destinies shaped, and tiny triumphs and tragedies take on epic proportions.

After the October 4 show, there will be an opportunity to engage with the cast. The October 7 post-show will feature three area organizations and artists who use theatre to actively transform lives. A panel discussion with Tyrone Beasley, director of outbound programming at the Rose Theatre, Nick Zadina, training specialist at Project Harmony, and Carolyn Anderson, director of WhyArts?.

The BLUEBARN Theatre has been bringing professionally-produced plays to area audiences since 1989. Since its inception, BLUEBARN has produced over 100 plays and has established itself as Omaha’s professional contemporary theatre company.

General Admission tickets are $35 and available by calling BLUEBARN’s box office (402) 345-1576. Tickets can also be purchased via their website at www.bluebarn.org/tickets.
