“Blue Star Mother” Feb 21 & 22

Two matinee performances of “Blue Star Mother” will be presented at the IRP theatre before the show is taken to the state festival at Okoboji in March. We invite you to come and be a part of the process of getting our show ready for competition! The preview matinees will take place at 2PM on Saturday, February 21 and Sunday, February 22. Tickets are $5 — available at the door. We invite the audience to stay for a “talk back” discussion after the performance.

“Blue Star Mother” was written Iowa River Players’ friend Tom Johnson of Amana, IA. It takes place on a summer day of 1944 on Maggie’s front porch. The characters are based on some “amazing people” that Johnson knew as a boy in northwest Iowa. According to Johnson, “They didn’t actually say this stuff, but they could have.”

“Christmas Belles”

Second in the Futrelle sisters’ trilogy: it is Christmas time in Fayro TX and the girls are not exactly in a festive mood! Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins, Honey Raye is directing a train-wreck of a Christmas Pageant and Twink, bent on revenge, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half of the town when she set fire to the two-timing Wiley Hick’s NASCAR collection. To make things worse, Honey Raye’s celebrity guest (Santa as played by Frankie’s long-suffering husband Dub) is passing a kidney stone.

And that ain’t all…

A long-guarded family secret is revealed and everyone in the cast of Honey Raye’s “Bethlehem-a-palooza” has food poisoning from the Band Booster’s pancake supper, and there’s more…
But you’ll just have to come and see!

The cast of Christmas Belles: Marillyn Korth, Luanne Krabbe, Steve Froelich, Kim Conlon, Kaitlyn Huisinga, Nancy Huisinga, Dean Evans, Zach Reed, Dale Arends, Becky Ahrendsen, and Karen Smith.
The director is Paul Bamford.

Performance dates are Friday through Sunday, December 5-7 and December 12-14. Curtain times are 7:30 PM on Fridays and Saturday, and 2:00 PM on Sunday. Tickets are $8 ordered and paid in advance (send orders to IRP tickets, PO Box 22, Belmond, IA 50421) — $10 purchased at the door.

Theatre in a Big Top Tent!

We are hosting a tent show!  Friday and Saturday, July 6 and 7 – curtain at 7:30 PM but come at 6PM to get in on all the fun! 

The Jenison Meacham Art Museum and Farm in rural Belmond (see driving directions below) will be the scene for some groundbreaking theatrical work with its roots in our rural past when the Iowa Tent Theatre Project cruises into town with its vintage vehicles, red and yellow big top tent that will seat 300 and a company of energetic young actors.  Patterned after the old-time tent shows that toured the American Midwest in a bygone era, the Iowa Tent Theatre Project promises a pleasant reminiscense for those who have known this style of entertainment, and a surprising and exciting new experience for those who weren’t here to catch it the first time around!

The play is “Standing Tall: an Iowa Tent Play” by native Iowan Ralph Hall who also founded the company and directs the play.  Entertainment with the whole family in mind, the play features sets, masks and puppets by professional designer Bruce Marrs, and even a tornado!  The Iowa Tent Theatre Project is committed to a celebration of the people and places of Iowa.  Don’t miss a moment of this magical evening shared with family and friends! 

This engagement of the ITTP is sponsored cooperatively by the Iowa River Players and its parent organization, the Belmond Area Arts Council, with primary funding from the Luick Memorial Trust of Belmond.  Additional funding from the Belmond United Way and the L K Boutin Grant ~ administered through IACT (Iowa Association of Community Theatres).

To get to the Jenison Meacham Art Museum and Farm - from Belmond, go North 1 mi. on Hwy 69, turn East on Hwy c-20 and go 1 mi., turn North on Taylor Avenue and go 1-1/4 mi.  

Tickets to the Tent Theatre are just $5 for adults and “a buck a kid” through high school ~ a bargain!  Get tickets at the door before the show or at the Belmond July 4th picnic lunch in Belmond City Park at noon.
