He takes it on but as the journey progresses he finds himself being pulled into a bizarre murder scheme. 1947, Not Rated, 1hr 26min
February’s line-up at The Iowa will feature, appropriately enough, a romance theme. Treat your honey to a date night (and get there early to snag the back row *wink*).

Virtual Dinner Theater
Friday • 2/12 • 6:30pm
The Winterset Stage & The Drift
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and the Winterset Stage is offering a special date night opportunity from the safety and comfort of your own living room: Virtual Dinner Theater! Dinner Theaters were among the most popular events for the Winterset Stage when they were in their first location. Since creativity and ‘trying new things’ is the main order of business these days, they’re bringing it back with a COVID twist.
The audience and the actors will all be connected via Zoom so, in order to watch, all you need is a reliable internet connection and a Zoom account. A three-course meal from The Drift is included with the price of each ticket. You can even opt to have your meal delivered right to your door!
The Menu
Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Crispy Pita Chips
Tuscan Chicken & Lettuce salad (also available vegetarian or with gluten free pasta)
Spent Grain Chocolate Brownie a la mode (on the side)
Several options for beer, cocktails and wine are available as add-ons.
The Show
The actual show is a totally zany, laugh-out-loud courtroom drama/comedy titled, Objection! Disorder in the Court!
Casey Licit is on a cross-country road trip when she’s apprehended and held for trial in a town appropriately named Berserksville. Charged with an outrageous triple crime, Casey maintains her innocence. But as the trial begins, our level-headed defendant realizes her hapless defense attorney is an ineffective dolt, and the prosecution effectively uses silly, childish distractions to win the case, including bribing Judge Falter and witnesses with candy and leading the courtroom in the Macarena!
Description provided by Pioneer Drama Service
Tickets are $25 which includes the three-course meal. If you happen to know someone outside of Winterset who would enjoy watching, they can purchase a ‘show only’ ticket for $10.
Winterset Little League Registration Open
Now through February 21st
PS. If you have a child younger than 1st grade, Winterset Parks & Recreation Department will be hosting a “new and improved” t-ball program this spring/summer for kids ages 3-6. I’ll be sure to let you know about those opportunities when they are announced.
An Opportunity to Serve
Mentor Iowa Seeking Volunteers
Mentor Iowa is looking for mentors to be paired up with youth who are being referred in the Madison County area. The mission of Mentor Iowa is to provide assistance to abused, neglected, and delinquent children who are under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court Services. They do this by working in partnership with the children, their families and the community. Trained volunteer mentors meet 6 hours a month with the child with whom they are matched and introduce positive new activities, new places, new ways of interacting and new study skills. In addition, Mentor Iowa plans regular group activities where mentors and children can interact in fun, age-appropriate settings.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Marty Lester, Executive Director for Mentor Iowa at 515-277-9797 or marty@mentoriowa.org.
