Riverside's Tag Sale Project sold out!

Riverside - All shows are sold out for Iowa City playwright Maggie Conroy’s real-life story of five friends and a yard sale. The staged reading of The Tag Sale Project will be performed December 11-13. Interested parties may call the Riverside Theatre Box Office at (319) 338-7672 to be placed on a waiting list.

Iowa City resident Maggie Conroy created The Tag Sale Project based on the real-life email messages and reflections of five friends who decided to clean out their houses and have a yard sale. The play chronicles the scheduling and sorting challenges that occur in the months prior to the tag sale, and the lesson on friendship and deeper awareness of the things worth holding on to that remain after the event is over.

Conroy, in collaboration with Riverside founders Ron Clark and Jody Hovland, will direct the staged reading. The friends depicted in the play will perform as themselves: Maggie Conroy, Nancy Hauserman, Casey Mahon, Mary New and Susan Shullaw. All have deep roots in the Iowa City community, a factor which undoubtedly drove the ticket demand.

"We asked the performers if we could add another show so more people could see it, and they graciously accommodated us, but the calls are still coming in," said Hovland.
