Synopsis: When comedian Megan Gogerty loses her charming, unreliable, alcoholic father, she unearths evidence of her family’s ancestral ties to the founding of the state of Iowa. Were they hearty immigrants making a new life on the frontier? Or a collection of self-satisfied boot-strappers complicit in destruction and erasure? (Why choose?) As she examines Iowa’s past, she lays bare the secrets that haunt her and her sisters. What do we do with our problematic relatives? With our problematic history? We tell the truth.
UPDATED HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY
Masks are optional at all performances.
