Three shows to see and one to audition for in Eastern Iowa theaters this week

RED SPEEDO

May 24 to 26 @ Mirrorbox Theatre, Cedar Rapids

On the cusp of the Olympic trials and a life-changing endorsement deal, an elite swimmer's future is threatened by a doping scandal. The crisis reveals the true motives of his entourage: his brother-manager will cover it up as long as he can cover his own tracks; his coach wants to maintain moral superiority; and his ex-lover wants revenge. A deep-end exploration of seemingly shallow people, this 2016 Obie award winner for playwriting slowly reveals the toxic nature of an American culture built on winning at all costs. Playwright Lucas Hnath is the force behind Broadway's recent hit, 'A Doll's House, Part 2,' and won the prestigious Steinberg Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Outer Critics Circle Award. Times: 7:30 p.m. May 24 to 26; CSPS Hall, 1103 Third St. SE, Cedar Rapids. Tickets: $15, CSPS Box Office, (319) 364-1580 or legionarts.org/events/upcoming/red-speedo/
