The Prairie Arts Council will be presenting ‘Leaving Iowa,’ a play written by Spike Manton and Tim Clue, at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 18 and 19, and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 20 at the Prairie Arts Center located at 24 Park Avenue East in Princeton.

This story of Don Browning is that of a middle-aged writer who returns home and decides to finally take his father’s ashes to his childhood home, as requested.

When Browning 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 Browning’s memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. his 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 themselves driving alone on a road, revisiting fond memories of their youth.
