Iowa River Players

When Ol’ Man River floats an aristocratic big doorstep to their tumbledown shack, Mrs. Crochet feels that her dream of a home may really come true. At least they have the doorstep to one! Now she wants a home more than ever. With 17-year-old Topal fretting at the clutter and Mr. Crochet flying into rages, Mrs. Crochet fears her family may break up. Then, as if in answer to her moving prayers, Mrs. Crochet gets the house to fit her doorstep!

The cast of players includes:
Kurt Hartmann as Commodore, Luanne Krabbe as Mrs. Crochet, Megan O’Connor as Evvie, Jamie Huffman as Topal, Trevor Grummitt as Arthur, Paul Bamford as Uncle Dewey, Karen Smith as Mrs. Dupre, Dawn Sherman as Mrs. Beaumont Crochet. Elna and Fleece are played by Frances Kem and Eevie Sherman, and by Mariah Smith and Lexie Hartmann. Dave Tobin is played by Zach Reed and Tayo Delacroix is played by Chance Wahl.

The Great Big Doorstep opens on Friday, December 4 at 7:30. Here are the dates: Dec 4, 5, 11, and 12 at 7:30 and Dec 6 and 13 at 2:00 PM. We are half sold out for our final perfomance even before tickets officially go on sale, as Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has bought up a group of tickets for their people.
