God Bless Annie Baker…the twenty-something who won the 2010 Obie (World Cup for playwriting).

Thanks to her, Director/Actor Ken Webster and all the actors in this show, we have been extended one weekend – so six more shows instead of three!

I rarely ever make a fuss about my shows – I hate selling people things and repeating myself over and over, but audiences seem to absolutely love this one.  Here is the announcement:


“engaging and hilarious” “wonderful” “a must-see”
Yes you heard me: we’re extending our production of Annie Baker’s Obie-Award winning Circle Mirror Transformation. That means you have just six more chances to see the show that’s getting, you know, this kind of review:
Austin American Statesman: “Engaging and hilarious . . . fast-paced, funny and ultimately quite moving. The ensemble is uniformly excellent, smoothly playing many layers of subtext beneath all the silliness.”
Spike Gillespie: “Wonderful . . . very, very funny and very, very thoughtful.”
Do512: “This is a must-see . . . effortless comedic timing.”
Austin Theater Examiner: “Hilarious, but always honest,  . . . the real humor here comes from how believable these characters and their situations are. Baker has a talent for creating worlds which we believe we ourselves could inhabit, and here Hyde Park brings real honesty to the performance.”
We’ve sold out most performances (except some Fridays for some reason — are you guys having hard weeks?), so get your tickets online or call 479-PLAY (7529) today. It’s a lovely play, and we’re so proud of it. Come on out. And if you’ve already seen it, thank you so much, and tell your friends (tell them to come on Friday!).
