Catchin' the Babies
September 18 at 7:30pm, September 20 at 2pm

Catchin' the Babies is a glimpse into early pioneer life, as seen through the eyes of Annie MacFarlane, a half-Cherokee, half-Irish midwife.

Written and performed by Sue Gilbert, one of Annie's descendants and a City Circle co-founder, the play grew out of previous City Circle New Play Festivals.

In February 2007, Catchin' the Babies competed in the Iowa Association of American Community Theatres Festival and won Best Play, Best Female Actor, and Best Set Design (Michael Blake). Directed by John Harper.

Tickets are $12 and are available online, by phone at 319.248.9370, and in person at the CCPA box office and Coralville Rec Center.
