AZ Daily Star, "Circle Mirror Transformation" Preview:
Take a peek inside the actors' studio
The play takes place in an acting class at a small community center in Vermont.

"People may think you have to be an insider" to get it, says Betsy Kruse Craig, who is directing the Annie Baker play.
"But it's so not about an acting class. It's about accepting who you are."
It's sort of a motley crew that has signed up for the class: a high schooler who longs to play Maria in "West Side Story"; a man struggling to get over a divorce; an actress who never made it in New York; and the husband of the woman teaching the class (at the urging of his wife, no doubt).
