Theatre Collecting Winter Gear, Hosting Photo Exhibit in Conjunction with Guys on Ice

By Riverside Theatre
Riverside Theatre is holding a hat and mitten drive in conjunction with its current show, Guys on Ice: An Ice Fishing Musical Comedy. The theatre is encouraging community members to bring in a new set of gloves/mittens, a hat or scarf (youth or adult sizes) to the Riverside Theatre box office. All donations will benefit Shelter House. As a thank you, all donors will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win a pair of tickets to a future Gilbert Street production.  The box office is located at 213 N. Gilbert Street and is open Monday-Friday from noon-4 pm.  Donations will be accepted through February 22.

 

During the run of Guys on Ice, the Riverside Theatre lobby will also feature a photography exhibit by Nancy Hauserman.  The exhibit, titled "Just Folks", features photographs that were chosen as reflections of the same joyful spirit of camaraderie that audience will see and hear during Guys on Ice.  The photographs offer glimpses of people enjoying the simple but grand pleasures of life - friendship, family, sitting, laughing and eating - nothing done for external approval but just for the sheer pleasure of being.  The exhibit features photographs taken in California, Hawaii, North Carolina, Oregon and Iowa.   

 

Performances of Guys on Ice, a delightful story about two ice fishing buddies from Wisconsin awaiting the opportunity to appear on a cable TV fishing show, continue at Riverside Theatre through February 22.  Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances are at 7:30 pm, and Sunday performances are at 2 pm.

 

Tickets for Guys on Ice are $26 with discounts available for seniors and youth. Tickets are available by phone at (319) 338-7672, online at www.riversidetheatre.org or in person at the Riverside Theatre box office, located at 213 N. Gilbert Street, Iowa City, IA.

International Comedian and Author Jeremy Greenberg in Iowa

By Nicholas Depew

For Immediate Release: Re. Jeremy Greenberg?Comedian From: Ron Placone, Publicist, Seattle, WA

International-touring comedian and writer JEREMY GREENBERG will be in the Quad Cities area SEPTEMBER 11-13TH at PENGUINS COMEDY CLUB. He will be promoting his new book, RELATIVE DISCOMFORT. He plans to visit surrounding bookstores in the area.

Here is some information about the book, RELATIVE DISCOMFORT:

"Seeing family is like catching a head cold: a temporary discomfort
relieved by a snifter or four of brandy." --Jeremy Greenberg

Relative Discomfort is a sidesplitting, guffaw-inducing guide to
living through and laughing at all of our family encounters. You know
that knot you get in your stomach when you're about to come
face-to-face with your Uncle Drunk and Aunt Enabler, or the
brother-in-law who always wants to show you his gun collection? This
book unties that knot.

*RELATIVE DISCOMFORT also includes a humorous section which addresses dealing with family members with different political leanings. This could be an attractive angle considering the upcoming election.

If your family more closely resembles the Simpsons as opposed to the
Tanner, Keaton, or Huxtable clans, then chances are this book is for
you. International headlining comedian Jeremy Greenberg writes from
the premise that although we love our families, many of us don't
particularly love spending time with those who share our dysfunctional
DNA.

About the Author:
Jeremy Greenberg is an internationally headlining stand-up comedian
and joke writer. He has written for Comics Unleashed, MSN, Atlantic
Business Magazine, and many other publications. He resides in Seattle,
WA, and maintains a virtual presence at www.jeremygreenberg.com.
