This Weekend

Oklahoma!

June 17, 18, 19 at 7:00pm, June 20 at 2:00pm
The Winterset Stage at the Madison County Fairgrounds

The Winterset Stage opened their production of Oklahoma last night to an enthusiastic audience anxious for the return of live theater to Winterset. The community theater group is offering three more performances: Tonight and Saturday at 7:00pm, and Sunday, June 20th at 2:00pm. Reserved seats are sold out, but there are still a few bleacher seats available for each performance that can be purchased at ‘the door’ (actually a blue tent.)

The entertainment really begins one hour before showtime with live music, food, games, activities, and even a square dancing demonstration.

In the Heights

Friday & Saturday at 7:00pm, Sunday at 2:00pm
The Iowa Theater

The creator of Hamilton and the director of Crazy Rich Asians invite you to the event of the summer, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big… In the Heights. Lights up on Washington Heights… The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. In the Heights fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience. PG-13; 2 hr 23 min
