Join columnist Don Browning on his nostalgic journey back to the family home which triggers memories of all those exhilarating and exasperating family road trips with sis teasing her brother whose complaints only get him in trouble, dad getting lost and refusing to admit it, and mom losing it over her fear that they're REALLY lost. In turn side-splitting, touching, and boisterous, Leaving Iowa will be completely recognizable to anyone who's traveled more than a few miles with the family. Friday & Saturday showtimes at 8 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Jul 10-12, 17-19, 24-26 :Harvey - Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy - shimmers with optimism, madcap humor and genuine charm. Elwood P. Dowd is a likable lush whose friendship with Harvey – a 6-foot rabbit invisible to everyone but Elwood – has driven his high-strung sister Veta to try to commit him to a sanitarium. But through his friendship with Elwood, Harvey - a gentle, unfailingly kind prankster - pricks everyone in the play to discover the best in themselves. Harvey asks us all to celebrate the oddballs and eccentrics among us for sharing their optimism, hope, and generous spirit.

Jul 31:Guys and Dolls - Guys and Dolls is an exuberant urban fairy tale about saints and sinners rolling for souls. It hinges on a bet that "a mission doll" and an unrepentant gambler will fall in love. Every number is a show stopper, from "Luck Be A Lady" to "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," and from "Adelaide's Lament" to "I'll Know."
