An outlandish take on the classic family road trip, Leaving Iowa is the story of writer Don who returns home to find a final resting place for his fathers ashes. When he discovers his grandmothers house is now a grocery store, Don travels across Iowa searching for a proper resting place for his father. This father and son road-trip transitions smoothly between Dons present predicament and his memories of the torturous but hilarious annual family vacations with Mom, Dad, and Sis. With his fathers help, Don realizes that the journey really is as important as the destination.Leaving Iowa and Stuart Little will be in repertory, alternating weeks.

BWW Review: LEAVING IOWA at Des Moines Playhouse: Going on a Journey Back to Easier Times
February 22, 2021 Sometimes, one of the hardest things we can do take the time to reflect. Taking that time to reminisce can sometimes lead to a fresh perspective for us. A few nights ago, one of my theatre friends Mariah Kerns took the time to reflect on the last year. She shared on Facebook, regarding her and her husband, 'The last 'normal' thing we did before voluntarily going into quarantine on March 15, 2020, was see a live show. Last night, nearly a year later, we went to see another.' The show she referred to was Des Moines Playhouse's preview of 'Leaving Iowa,' which I streamed on opening night, February 19. Since this viewing, the show's performances have been suspended for two weeks due to Covid 19.
