Amana - Last year, ITAC teamed up with the Hawk 'A' Model 'A' Club to present a vaudeville-style review at the club's 1st Annual Iowa Model 'A' Day. The result was The Bee's Knees, and both groups are continuing the tradition this year.
Amana, as a historic site, is an ideal place to hold a Model 'A' show, says Hawk 'A' Model 'A' Club president Dennis Zuber. "Everything's already here...unlike in Sharon where they have to bring everything in." ITAC's contributions continue in the historical vein. The piece contains traditional music and skits in the vaudeville style by Tom Johnson. Performing in the show will be Meg Merckens (reprising her role as Cora Cornsilk), Jenna Vik, Alex Shockley, Fritz & Liesl Burgher, Chuck Cooper, Marshall Nielsen, Russell Sandersfeld, Ian Zahren, and banjo player Paul Roberts. Musical direction is by Bradley Fritz.
The Bee's Knees and Then Some! plays on Fridays from August 6 - August 28, at 1:30pm & 7:30pm. The location is 4709 220th Trail in Amana. Tickets are $25 ($10 for students) and can be reserved by calling 319-622-3222 or on ITAC's website.
There will be a special peformance at Dysart Union Middle School on August 29th at 2:30pm. Tickets for this performance are $16 ($10 for students) and proceeds go to the Dysart and Garrison Lions Clubs.
