A dramatic mirror
Toledo's premiere experimental theater group turns an eye inward on the insular, emotionally fraught world of struggling actors, as Glacity Theatre Collective presents Annie Baker's acclaimed 2009 play Circle Mirror Transformation. The show, named one of the top 10 plays of 2009 by the New York Times, builds a dark web of dramatic tension out of the interactions between the members of adult dramatics class in a Vermont community center. The characters' struggles with artistic dreams intermingle with their insistent day-to-day troubles. Dramatic sparks fly as they learn about each other and themselves. January 18-19 and 24-26. All shows 8pm. $20. St. Paul's Methodist Church, 1201 Madison Ave. 419-277-3492. www.glacity.org. —MD
