Leaving Iowa

Description

Critically acclaimed, family-focused production, Leaving Iowa is a toast to the idealism of the “greatest generation” and their undying dedication to the classic family road trip. Imagine gathering the family to travel across country to take Grandpa’s ashes to a final resting place only to find that Grandma’s house is now a grocery store. Guaranteed to keep you laughing while remembering childhood vacations you tried to forget. Nominated for Best New Play! Leaving Iowa is a hilarious road trip through the reminiscence of growing up, full of criss-crossing lines that ricochet through the family automobile, the wistful recollections of a questing son, and wonderful character acting in a collection of marvelously entertaining smaller performances, like a one-handed pig farmer, an Amish housewife, and a dreary grocery store attendant who slowly dives into a traumatic obsession about parking lot slopes!. “A comedy that will leave you with a smile on your face, a tug on your heartstrings, and a strong desire to hug someone.”
