Leaving Iowa
SUMMARY
Leaving Iowa is a toast to the "greatest generation's" idealism and character and a little roast of their undying dedication to the classic family road trip. More specifically, it 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 for his father. This father-and-son road trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don's memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Don's existential journey leads him to reconcile his past and present at the center of the United States. Leaving Iowa is a postcard to anyone who has ever found himself or herself driving alone on a road, revisiting fond memories of his or her youth. Premiered at the Purple Rose Theatre Company.

EPiC Summer
08/26/2022 - 08/27/2022
Evergreen Players Improv Comedy
Directed by Scott Ogle
Celebrate the end of summer with hilarity and improvisational comedy.
EPiC was formed by a group of friends who took an improv class together and decided to do a showcase. They expected 25-30 people but the house was so packed at over 180 people that the fire marshall came to clear some of us out. It grew from there and has since become a community favorite over the past 15+ years. These friends enjoy the "rehearsals" and learning new games as much as they love performing. Join us for a laugh as they play, mess up, create and just have fun!
Evergreen Players is dedicated to the health and safety of everyone and will update our current covid protocols as we get closer to the show.
