| Brucemore Announces Flood Benefit Performance July 10-19 by Claudia Petrick | ||
In an unpredented collaboration, six Cedar Rapids arts organizations are putting together an outdoor benefit production at Brucemore that will feature music and stories inspired by the city's recent floods. This event will replace the previously scheduled "Classics at Brucemore" production of Lysistrata. The new production, titled Moving Home, represents the largest joint production the area has ever experienced, as Brucemore partners with Liar’s Theater, SPT Theatre, Theatre Cedar Rapids, Urban Theater Project of Iowa, and Legion Arts. All proceeds will be donated to the Greater Cedar Rapids Foundation’s Flood Relief and Recovery Fund.
Tickets that have been purchased for Lysistrata will be honored at Moving Home. Brucemore will also reimburse Lysistrata tickets for those patrons not interested in the new production. Moving Home will be performed during the regular Classics dates and times – July 10- 12 and 17 – 19 starting at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for Brucemore members, and $18 at the gate the night of the performance. To order tickets , call Brucemore at (319) 362-7375. The Classics at Brucemore performance of Moving Home is sponsored by Rockwell Collins, with media sponsor The Corridor Business Journal.
Brucemore is located at 2160 Linden Drive SE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
