Proof opens April 9th

TCR - To follow up their return to the Iowa Theatre Building with The Producers, TCR has a show quite different in style and theme. Proof brings home the Linge Series, TCR's focus on smaller, more intimate shows. The cast of four includes Rachel Howell as Catherine, Rob Merritt as Hal, Demetrios Hadjis as Robert and Jessica Link as Claire.

David Auburn's Proof won both the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama 2001. It tells the story of Catherine, the daughter of a famous but mentally ill mathematician. Catherine has just turned twenty-five and is struggling with depression, the death of her father and the advances of his protege Hal. To top it off, she's guarding a secret she hasn't shared with anyone, because she doesn't think anyone will believe her: a radical proof that could be more important than anything her father had every written.

Proof runs April 9-18 at the Iowa Theatre Building. Performances are 7:30pm Thursday through Saturday and 2:30pm Sunday. Tickets are $20-$25 (or $15 for students). Call 319.366.8591 or go to www.theatrecr.org for details.
