Skyline Theatre invites you on a journey full of laughs and nostalgia with “Leaving Iowa.” – a Comedy about Family Vacations.
This was a great show!! My husband and I were laughing throughout.
More than 60 students in grades 9-12 are involved in Skyline’s production as performers and technicians.
“This production is the result of countless hours of effort. Whether creating original designs, constructing sets, running lights and sound, or exploring characters on stage, these students have shown incredible commitment and creativity,” said Kristine Stephens, Skyline Theatre’s new artistic director.
About the Show from the ticketing website:
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 is 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 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. Premiered at the Purple Rose Theatre Company.
