Iowa Theatre Artists Company will present Kathleen Clark's Southern Comforts beginning on May 7th. It is a comedy about marriage, death and readjustment in the Autumn years. Meg Merckens and Robert Gardner play Amanda, an aging southern belle who lost her husband in a car crash, and Gus, an retired stonemason and widower. Amanda's daughter, who goes to Gus's church, brings her to New Jersey; when she knocks on Gus' door to collect a contribution, the seed is sown for a relationship that is the subject of a warm and thoughtful two-person play.
Southern Comforts runs May 7th to 30th, 7:30 on Fridays & Saturdays with 1:30 matinees on Fridays and Sundays. Tickets are $20-$25 ($10 for students); call 319-622-3222 or visit ITAC's website.
