MHS Drama Dept presents Leaving Iowa A comedy about family vacations By Tim Clue and Spike Manton. All tickets: $5.00 General Admission. Tickets sales begin in the Middle Stage Auditorium Lobby starting one hour before show. The spark behind Leaving Iowa comes from being children of parents from the now dubbed greatest generation. The story is a toast to their 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 fathers ashes to his childhood home, as requested. But when Don discovers Grandmas 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 Dons memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Dons 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.
