| The cast of "Leaving Iowa:" l to r, Halbe, Piescinski, Bennett, Mattingly, Mason and Ramsey. |
Bart Rettberg, Mike Finney and I saw the Charleston
Community Theatre-Tarble Arts Center production of Leaving Iowa.
Director Cathy Sheagren has chosen herself an excellent cast
in Matt Mattingly, Tim Mason, Victoria Bennett, Leah Piescinski, Earl Halbe and
Faith Ramsey. Tim Clue and Spike Manton’s comedy, about a writer’s prosaic
odyssey with his dad’s long-lost funeral urn, is the familiar stuff of family
sitcoms. Mattingly and Mason bring reality to the zaniness with their
characteristic naturalism, while Halbe brings a lot of laughs with his Don
Knotts-like bits.
