Tangent Theatre Company, based in their intimate Carpenter Shop Theater in Tivoli, announces their Spring 2016 main-stage production: the award-winning Circle Mirror Transformation by Annie Baker. Set in a small Vermont town, the story centers around a local acting class and the truths revealed as the group's time together unfolds. In addition to the featured female playwright, the show will spotlight a wide range of female talents: three acting artists, the director, producer, set and lighting designers, wardrobe supervisor and house manager are all established women in the field.

The Nina Variations, Steven Dietz's clever, fierce and heartbreaking tribute to The Seagull, returns to Chicago in a new co-production by El Bear Theater Company and The Enthusiasts Theater Company.

We often wish we could go back and act differently at key points in our life, in this performance we give Nina and Treplev that chance.

Instead, this play is about how people remember things from their past, and often how they forget them. Whether it is due to repression or dementia, or lasting importance or momentary bliss, what we forget and what we remember shapes everything that we think and feel about our lives.
