SUMMARY:Live Reading: "The Iowa Plays"
DESCRIPTION:Live Reading: “The Iowa Plays\,” by Kathe Mull \nSaturday\, October 10th\, 2026\nHomestead Village Church Museum\nFurther Details TBA \nOn Saturday\, October 10th\, playwright Kathe Mull will be joining us here in Iowa for the first public reading of her new work\, “The Iowa Plays\,“ four gentle one-act comedies that feature life and friendship in Iowa. \nKathe Mull was born and raised in Muscatine\, Iowa\, where she graduated from Muscatine High School. She went on to attend Muscatine Community College on a drama scholarship.\nFollowing college\, Kathe joined The Old Creamery Theatre Company\, where she performed as an actress for several seasons. Later\, she also directed On Golden Pond\, starring Tom Milligan and Deb Kennedy. \nKathe later became a member of the resident acting company at Charlie’s Showplace in Des Moines\, Iowa\, where she performed for eight years before relocating to New York City. \nMore than 45 years later\, Kathe continues to call Manhattan home\, where she has enjoyed a diverse and rewarding career in the theatre. Her work has included acting\, directing\, serving as a Broadway star dresser\, and\, most recently\, playwrighting. Drawing on decades of experience both onstage and behind the scenes\, she brings authenticity\, wit\, and a deep love of theatre to her writing. \nKathe is thrilled to join TKM Productions and the Amana Heritage Society in presenting The Iowa Plays in its first public reading. It is a special privilege to share these stories—celebrating the people\, history\, humor\, and heart of Iowa—with audiences for the very first time. She hopes audiences find a little of themselves in these Iowa stories. \nShe is especially looking forward to enjoying her first Maid-Rite (without ketchup\, of course) since 1974.
