"The Iowa River Players will present two matinee performances of a short play called 'Blue Star Mother' by Tom Johnson of Amana.
The play is approximately 45 minutes long and will be presented on the IRP stage in Rowan at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 and Sunday, Feb. 22. Tickets will be available at the door for $5.
Set in the summer of 1944, the two characters in the play are based on the playwright's mother and her best friend. It concerns the coping strategies of Maggie and Charlotte as they wait for the mailman to bring word from Maggie's sons overseas. Luanne Krabbe plays Charlotte and Kathy Schnell plays Maggie. Becky Ahrendsen of Clarion is the director.
'Blue Star Mother' will be presented at the Iowa Community Theatre Festival in Okoboji March 7."
