Washington - Auditions for the Washington Community Theater Production of Leaving Iowa will take place on August 7, 9, and 10, starting at 7:00 PM at the Washington Community Theatre. Performances are scheduled for October 14, 15 and 16.
Leaving Iowa 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. This road trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don’s memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Leaving Iowa is a postcard to anyone who has ever found himself or herself driving alone on a road, revisiting fond memories of youth.
The cast consists of four main characters; Don, Sis, Mom and Dad in both the past and present day portrayed by the same actors. Additional cast members can number as few as 2 and as many as 22.
