Deathtrap opens March 5th

In Deathtrap, professional rivalry becomes deadly. Sidney Bruhl, who is having a killer case of writer's block, invites young writer Clifford Anderson over to discuss his new murder mystery. But Clifford is in for more than he bargained for...

Deathtrap is a metatheatrical romp full of plot twists, sinister characters and outrageous plays for power. Written by Ira Levin in 1978, it ran for Broadway for years and is Levin's most famous play.

City Circle's production runs from March 5-7 and 12-14, starting at 7:30pm (2:30 on Sundays) at the Iowa Children's Museum in the Coral Ridge Mall. Call the Coralville Rec Center (319-248-1750) for tickets.

Thanks for the review, Sharon!

A quick note about the George Henry pics: We agree with you that at the moment, they are too small and pixellated on the monitors. We are working to improve that. We're still learning some of the new technical gizmos we have at the theatre, including the new outdoor marquee, and we expect that as we get more familiar with them, they will become much more impressive.

Also, the original framed George Henry prints are going back up too, on various wall spaces throughout the building. There wasn't time to hang them before "The Producers" opened, but with luck they will be ready by the time "Proof" opens in April. It'll be great to see them hanging again.

Thanks! We look forward to seeing you at the next show! -- Rob Merritt, TCR

Sorry. I put this comment on the "Producers" review but for some reason it posted here instead.
