Restroom Repair Fund

The theater sustained significant damage over the winter.  The handicap-accessible restrooms created by Jimmie Johnson and Jack Burt became water-damaged because of a leaky valve in the basement.

 

We need your help to keep your theater in good repair.

Doc Kollasch Memorial Fund

Dr. Albert Kollasch is fondly remembered by many in our theater company for his singing role as "The Felon, Robin Steel" in our original production of Lily, The Felon's Daughter. To the end of his life, he remained a foster father to the young lady who played his daughter and a firm believer in the power and value of community theatre. An endowment fund has been established in his memory. We would be most honored if you would consider helping us build on his legacy by contributing to this fund.

Sponsor a Seat

Many of the 190 seats in the Iowa River Players House are designated to honor friends and relatives of our Patrons and Members. For a donation of $100, you may choose a seat that will display a plaque naming your choice of honoree. Your donation supports the theater arts in rural Iowa.
