Anyone who has ever taken a family road trip as a vacation – especially in the days before GPS and other electronic gadgets – could instantly 
relate to “Leaving Iowa,” the play performed by the Eden Valley-Watkins Drama Club. The core of the cast, a family of four, are seen in vignettes of time, on a number of family road trips. They meet a number of interesting characters along the way. The fast-moving comedy easily drew in their audiences, and took them for a pleasant ride. After the performance, audience members had a chance to greet cast members.
