The company closes its season with the world premiere of I’m Proud of You, a play based on the friendship between Fort Worth author and playwright Tim Madigan and Fred Rogers.
The author adapted his work into a stage production with TCU theater professor Harry Parker, who directs the show. “I considered [Rogers] to be one of my closest friends.
In fact, it’s no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Fred Rogers, I might not be around today, alive to tell you my story,” Madigan stated in Circle’s publicity materials for the show.
