The Iowa Theatre Artists Company (ITAC) sold its long-time facility last year, but Meg Merckens and Tom Johnston are still producing theatre in the Amanas, and elsewhere.
“Woody Guthrie’s American Song” opens August 25 for a four-week run. Most of the shows will be in Homestead, in the Amanas, in the former General Store. The show will also hit the road to Garrison for one weekend, where Meg and Tom first met in the early years of the Old Creamery Theatre.
In October, ITAC will stage “Ben Butler,” the story of a little-known Union General in the Civil War who must figure out a way to get around The Fugitive Slave Act, so he doesn’t have to return refugee slaves to their owners.
