Weekend in Winterset • March 28

This Weekend

If you notice that there are no movies listed this weekend, it’s not a mistake.

In the meantime, the Winterset Stage is planning a show soon…keep reading for details about that!

Weston Barcus Benefit

Saturday • March 30 • 11:00am – 2:00pm
Winterset McDonald’s

Enjoy a Big Mac and support a great cause all at the same time…Weston was diagnosed with ocular melanoma and by the time the doctors discovered the tumor, it was too big to do anything but remove Weston’s entire left eye. Weston has been an absolute trooper through the entire process and refuses to let anything get him down, but he has a long recovery ahead and many more trips to the University of Iowa hospitals. 15% of the profits from sales during this fundraiser will go directly to Weston and his family.

Planning Ahead

Drinking Habits

April 11, 12 & 13 • 7:00pm
April 14 • 2:00pm
The Winterset Stage at the Iowa Theater

Tickets are on sale now for the next Winterset Stage production, Drinking Habits. Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancees, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.


4K for 4H

Saturday • April 13 • 9:00pm
Madison County Fairgrounds

Get yourself moving and support the Madison County 4H clubs. And if you’re not quite ready for a 5K, this your race! Register Online
