Iowa River Players

“There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow….”

When the “corn is as high as an elephant’s eye” in July and August, we’ll be singing all about it on Broadway in Rowan! You can, too! Come to auditions on any of the three nights and read for a part in the IRP production of this beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. There’s Curly and Laurie, Will and Ado Annie, Aunt Eller, Jud Fry and all the cowboys and farmers and their gals. What could be more fun?

You say you don’t sing and dance? We still need you to help with set construction, painting, costumes, props and more! Come to auditions and offer any of your services! We love volunteers!
