Yes, it's a farce, but it's just as sweet as it can be. Based on the novel by Carl Reiner, this story introduces us to David who is frantic to become an actor. We might need to put up a warning sign in the lobby, because the New York Times reported that on the opening night of this play, the audience was 'convulsed with laughter." Since laughter isn't hazardous to your health, take a risk and join us for a riotous romp with this boy whose parents would prefer he become a druggist. Side excursions include a late lunch at Minerva's Restaurant, the Art Fair at Arnold's Park, and a tour of the Lakes Art Center. Bus departs at 11:00 am; bus returns home at approximately 10:00 pm.

Leaving Iowa - Comedy - Okoboji Summer Theater
Wednesday, July 13
A brand new play that not only is an OST premier, but one of the first few production in the country. A comedy about family vacations, this is a memory play where a young man relives moments from his youth when the family would pile into the car and visit places like Mount Union, Iowa. There can be no one in America who doesn't recall those long, but wonderful days in the car, with Mom humming, Dad missing the turnoff and the kids fighting. Be the first one on the block - heck, in your state! -- to see this special play. Full itinerary available in May.
