Idaho Repertory Theatre Presents “Circle Mirror Transformation”

Set in a creative drama class, Circle Mirror Transformation tells the story of instructor Marty and her eclectic mix of students as they slog through acting games that push emotions and abilities, or lack thereof, to the limit. But, as often trying times will do, the experience builds connections and relationships that will endure well after students are outside the classroom walls. Winner of the Obie Award for best new play, it has been called an “absorbing, unblinking and sharply funny play,” by the New York Times. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 16-18, 23-25 and 2 p.m. Aug. 19 and 26. General admission costs $10. To purchase tickets or for more information, call (208) 885-6465.
