Due to the flooding in Iowa City, which has forced the closure of the UI Theatre Building, Iowa Summer Rep’s 2013 season has changed. "Bad Seed" will be staged in Coralville on a reduced run; "Tommy" will shift to September as part of the 2013-14 Mainstage season. The UI Summer Opera, "Iolanthe," scheduled for July 11-14, will go on as planned.
