SUMMARY:Leaving Iowa at Barter Theatre Stage II
DESCRIPTION:“A comedy about family vacations.”\nBy Tim Clue and Spike Manton\nThe 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 father’s ashes to his childhood home\, as requested. But when Don 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 Don’s memories of the annual\, torturous vacations of his childhood. Don’s 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 him or herself driving alone on a road\, revisiting fond memories of his or her youth.

Martin Program for the Arts at the McKinney Center is pleased to announce the second show of the Artist Exhibition Series.  The exhibition will be open and free to the public starting with the Opening Reception on Friday\, June 9\, 6pm. It will run through July 21.  The McKinney Center is open Monday – Friday 8am – 5pm.\n \nCarolyn Tomko grew up in eastern Virginia\, where summer days are hot and humid.  One of her favorite things to do as a child was to create mud pies for family\, friends\, dolls and pets.  It wasn’t enough to just create them\, she had to find berries\, rocks and even bugs to enhance their beauty.  When she had a young family\, creating tea sets and animals out of Play Dough were some of her favorite family play times.  It was only natural to make a full circle and play in clay after retiring from the Town of Jonesborough nine years ago.  One of the beauties of this stage of her life is the ability to create beautiful pottery that is fired and can last for generations.  It is a joy have good friends who also enjoy pottery.\nOne of her passions is creating hand crafter characters such as animals\, Santa’s\, gnomes\, snowmen\, angles and nativities.   Making houses for birds is always a fun challenge.  Pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns are great fall creations. Yard art\, wall pockets\, tree art and wall decorations are also a joy to create.  Usable pottery such as platters and plates are always fun to created and embellish.  It is not enough for her to create a platter\, she also adds birds\, nests\, flowers\, or even an animal.\nTomko states that\, “almost every day is a ‘clay day’\, and she feels a need to show and sell some of her work.  She is not interested in a new career.  She just wants to have fun creating\, making new friends\, and enjoying old ones.”\n \nAfter thirty years in Law enforcement in South Florida\, Richie retired to Jonesborough\, Tennessee where he has resumed his passion for outdoor and wildlife photography. In 2005 Richie made the jump to digital photography and opened a whole adventure in making images. Since then\, he has traveled from Katmai National Park photographing brown bears\, to South Africa on photo safaris. Richie also traveled extensively across the United States photographing everything from wildlife\, scenic and old rusting cars and trucks-Rusting Relics. Ritchie describes his work as\, “Eclectic”.\n \nRichie’s passion is the endangered species of wildlife\, especially those in Africa such as the much poached Rhino and Elephant. He has been up close and personal with these possible to be extinct creatures. It is his desire to educate and make people aware of the plight of these great animals. Richie also likes to share his images via Facebook\, digital gallery and community presentations. Richie’s images have been seen on NatGeo Online\, numerous publications and at various galleries.\n \nDirector of the McKinney Center\, Theresa Hammons\, states\, “Ritchie Hayward and Carolyn Tomko have something in common.  They both interpret the natural environment around them through their artwork. Whether Ritchie is in Africa or Arizona\, he captures the beauty and power of nature through his photography.  Carolyn’s love for the natural world and the spiritual world is so delicately expressed in her ceramic birds\, lily pads\, angels and nativities. They both approach their art with passion and reverence for the world around them which is truly moving and inspiring.”\n \nThe McKinney Center houses the Jonesborough Mary B. Martin Program for the Arts and boasts of a mission to be\, “committed to inspiring the people of our area through both the appreciation of and the participation in the arts as a form of personal and collective expression.”  The objective of the program is to “bring the community at large closer together and show as an example to other communities the creative influence that the arts can bring to their quality of life.”  The McKinney Center is a department within the Town of Jonesborough.\n \nFor more information\, email Theresa Hammons at theresah@jonesborougtn.org or call 423-753-0562.\n

But now newer\, fancier shovels have taken all the work\, leaving Mike and Mary Anne in the dust. Their only hope lies in the little town of Popperville\, which needs a basement dug for its new City Hall. The story of hard work\, determination and friendship comes to life in this charming musical adaptation\, where we learn that the newest\, biggest or most expensive isn’t necessarily the best.
