LEAVING IOWA
By Tim Clue and Spike Manton
Opens July 16th
The spark behind Leaving Iowa comes from being children of parents from the now dubbed "greatest generation." The story is a toast to their idealism and character and a little roast of their undying dedication to the classic family road trip. More specifically, it is the story of Don Browning, a middle-aged writer, who returns home and decides to finally take his father's ashes to his childhood home, as requested. But when Don discovers Grandma's house in now a grocery store, he begins traveling across Iowa searching for a proper resting place for his father. This father-and-son road trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don's memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Don's existential journey leads him to reconcile his past and present at the center of of the United States. Leaving Iowa is a postcard to anyone who has ever found himself or herself driving alone on a road, revisiting fond memories of his or her youth.
Members of the cast include Caleb Olson, Jonathan Werre, Megan Konz, Stephanie Arbogast, Richard Hiatt, Tyler Johnson, Rich Stratmeyer, Nancy Tapken Mor and Jessica Werre. Leaving Iowa is directed by Benjamin L. Ashwood. The Assistant Director/Stage Manager is Kamie Keys.
