SUMMARY:Ripcord
DESCRIPTION:Ripcord \nDirected by Trent Yoder \nRipcord by David Lindsay-Abaire is a comedy that unfolds in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility. The play centers on the contentious relationship between two elderly roommates\, the fiercely private and curmudgeonly Abby Binder\, and the relentlessly cheerful newcomer Marilyn Dunne. \nFueled by Abby’s desire for solitude and Marilyn’s wish for the coveted bed by the window\, the two women engage in a seemingly harmless bet: if Abby can make Marilyn angry\, Marilyn will move out. Conversely\, if Marilyn can scare the seemingly unflappable Abby\, she gets the window bed. \nThis simple wager escalates into an outrageous and increasingly dangerous series of pranks and one-upmanship. Their escalating antics involve the facility’s aide\, Scotty\, and even their respective families\, revealing deeper truths and hidden vulnerabilities beneath their hardened exteriors. As their battle intensifies\, the play explores themes of aging\, the fear of vulnerability\, the search for happiness in later life\, and the unexpected connections that can form even in the most unlikely circumstances. The humor is sharp and often physical\, but the play also delves into poignant moments as the women confront their pasts and present realities. \nSensitive Material: Although Ripcord is a comedy\, there is some material that could be disturbing to some\, involving a (fake) suicide\, drug use\, and a gun. \nPerformances at The James Theater\n213 N Gilbert St\, Iowa City\, IA 52245 \nPerformances will be February 13-14 and 20-21 at 7:30pm\, February 15 and 22 at 2:00pm \nClick on the button below or scan the QR code for tickets\nTicket Prices for Ripcord are as follows. \n\n$20 + Fees – Adults\n$17 + Fees – Students and Seniors\n$12 + Fees – Children\n\nIf you have a physical flex pass\, please call our box office at (319) 338-0443 or email us at office@iowacitycommunitytheatre.com to reserve your ticket \n\nBuy Tickets\nBuy a Flex Pass

SUMMARY:Free Live Music | Dage Lee
DESCRIPTION:Dage Lee is a premier acoustic singer-songwriter based in Central Nebraska\, boasting an impressive portfolio of over 2\,000 performances across the last eight years. While his touring footprint spans from Minnesota to California\, he primarily focuses on the heart of the country\, performing regularly throughout Nebraska\, Iowa\, Kansas\, Colorado\, and Wyoming. \n​His sound is a masterful blend of influences\, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of legendary artists including 3 Doors Down\, Matchbox 20\, Kenny Wayne Shepherd\, and Shinedown\, as well as the timeless grit of Metallica\, Tom Petty\, and Johnny Cash. By weaving in modern influences like Tyler Childers and Teddy Swims alongside country icons like Gary Allan and Garth Brooks\, Dage applies a unique\, signature twist to every song in his repertoire. \nKnown for his versatility and crowd engagement\, Dage’s true forte is his ability to create impromptu\, “in-the-moment” songs inspired by his audience. He specializes in high-energy mashups that cross every genre\, keeping listeners on their feet and ensuring no two shows are ever the same. \nThis is a free live music event! The show starts at 8 PM! \nReservations are recommended to guarantee seating!\nhttps://www.vuerooftop-ic.com/reservations

SUMMARY:One Book Two Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of children’s literature in the city of literature\nFebruary 21-22\, 2026\n\nOur community is very supportive of young people. We know who scores the winning touchdown for City High. We celebrate students who make all-state in music for Northwest Junior High. We cheer the top debaters at Regina. But do we know the best young writers in our community? \nWe should. As a UNESCO City of Literature\, we rightly laud the published and soon-to-be published authors among us\, but we tend to overlook the most abundant pool of talent in our area: our K-12 schools. \nRecognizing and celebrating this talent is a big reason behind the City of Literature organization’s annual One Book Two Book Children’s Literature Festival. Like traditional festivals\, it offers the chance for attendees — in this case\, children and their families — to hear from published authors about their work. But more important is its ultimate goal: to champion writing by children. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule of Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrains!\n\nFebruary 21 @ 10:00 am \nMERGE \n136 S Dubuque St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nBook Fair at One Book Two Book\n\nFebruary 21 @ 10:00 am \nFilmScene at The Chauncey \n404 E College St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nDrop-in Illustration Workshop with Matt Laux\n\nFebruary 21 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm \nMERGE \n136 S Dubuque St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nSing-Along\n\nFebruary 21 @ 11:00 am \nFilmScene at The Chauncey \n404 E College St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nLocal Children’s Book Author Fair\n\nFebruary 21 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm \nMERGE \n136 S Dubuque St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nBook Character Meet & Greet\n\nFebruary 21 @ 12:00 pm \nFilmScene at The Chauncey \n404 E College St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nStorytime\n\nFebruary 21 @ 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm \nFilmScene at The Chauncey \n404 E College St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nBook Character Meet & Greet\n\nFebruary 21 @ 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm \nFilmScene at The Chauncey \n404 E College St\nIowa City\, IA 52240 United States + Google Map\n\n\n\nWrite Out Loud Student Award Ceremony\n\nFebruary 22 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm \nMacbride Auditorium \n17 N.

SUMMARY:Ripcord
DESCRIPTION:Ripcord \nDirected by Trent Yoder \nRipcord by David Lindsay-Abaire is a comedy that unfolds in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility. The play centers on the contentious relationship between two elderly roommates\, the fiercely private and curmudgeonly Abby Binder\, and the relentlessly cheerful newcomer Marilyn Dunne. \nFueled by Abby’s desire for solitude and Marilyn’s wish for the coveted bed by the window\, the two women engage in a seemingly harmless bet: if Abby can make Marilyn angry\, Marilyn will move out. Conversely\, if Marilyn can scare the seemingly unflappable Abby\, she gets the window bed. \nThis simple wager escalates into an outrageous and increasingly dangerous series of pranks and one-upmanship. Their escalating antics involve the facility’s aide\, Scotty\, and even their respective families\, revealing deeper truths and hidden vulnerabilities beneath their hardened exteriors. As their battle intensifies\, the play explores themes of aging\, the fear of vulnerability\, the search for happiness in later life\, and the unexpected connections that can form even in the most unlikely circumstances. The humor is sharp and often physical\, but the play also delves into poignant moments as the women confront their pasts and present realities. \nSensitive Material: Although Ripcord is a comedy\, there is some material that could be disturbing to some\, involving a (fake) suicide\, drug use\, and a gun. \nPerformances at The James Theater\n213 N Gilbert St\, Iowa City\, IA 52245 \nPerformances will be February 13-14 and 20-21 at 7:30pm\, February 15 and 22 at 2:00pm \nClick on the button below or scan the QR code for tickets\nTicket Prices for Ripcord are as follows. \n\n$20 + Fees – Adults\n$17 + Fees – Students and Seniors\n$12 + Fees – Children\n\nIf you have a physical flex pass\, please call our box office at (319) 338-0443 or email us at office@iowacitycommunitytheatre.com to reserve your ticket \n\nBuy Tickets\nBuy a Flex Pass

SUMMARY:Ripcord
DESCRIPTION:Ripcord \nDirected by Trent Yoder \nRipcord by David Lindsay-Abaire is a comedy that unfolds in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility. The play centers on the contentious relationship between two elderly roommates\, the fiercely private and curmudgeonly Abby Binder\, and the relentlessly cheerful newcomer Marilyn Dunne. \nFueled by Abby’s desire for solitude and Marilyn’s wish for the coveted bed by the window\, the two women engage in a seemingly harmless bet: if Abby can make Marilyn angry\, Marilyn will move out. Conversely\, if Marilyn can scare the seemingly unflappable Abby\, she gets the window bed. \nThis simple wager escalates into an outrageous and increasingly dangerous series of pranks and one-upmanship. Their escalating antics involve the facility’s aide\, Scotty\, and even their respective families\, revealing deeper truths and hidden vulnerabilities beneath their hardened exteriors. As their battle intensifies\, the play explores themes of aging\, the fear of vulnerability\, the search for happiness in later life\, and the unexpected connections that can form even in the most unlikely circumstances. The humor is sharp and often physical\, but the play also delves into poignant moments as the women confront their pasts and present realities. \nSensitive Material: Although Ripcord is a comedy\, there is some material that could be disturbing to some\, involving a (fake) suicide\, drug use\, and a gun. \nPerformances at The James Theater\n213 N Gilbert St\, Iowa City\, IA 52245 \nPerformances will be February 13-14 and 20-21 at 7:30pm\, February 15 and 22 at 2:00pm \nClick on the button below or scan the QR code for tickets\nTicket Prices for Ripcord are as follows. \n\n$20 + Fees – Adults\n$17 + Fees – Students and Seniors\n$12 + Fees – Children\n\nIf you have a physical flex pass\, please call our box office at (319) 338-0443 or email us at office@iowacitycommunitytheatre.com to reserve your ticket \n\nBuy Tickets\nBuy a Flex Pass

SUMMARY:Book Reading by Clare Kinberg
DESCRIPTION:Join the University of Iowa (UI) Jewish Studies Network\, an International Programs affinity group\, for a special event with author Clare Kinberg. Kinberg will read from her novel\, By the Waters of Paradise: An American Story of Racism and Rupture in a Jewish Family\, and share reflections on uncovering long-hidden truths within her family’s history. \nClare Kinberg is a white Jewish woman whose wife and daughters are descendants of the African diaspora. When she discovered her estranged Aunt Rose’s death certificate in 2016\, she unlocked a family secret that had been hidden for generations: her white Jewish aunt had married a Black man. Kinberg’s exploration of the intertwined forces of segregation\, racism\, and antisemitism\, through generations of one family’s history\, resulted in this beautiful and timely memoir. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Jewish Studies Network\, International Programs\, and the UI Departments of American Studies; Gender\, Women’s and Sexuality Studies; History\, and Religious Studies. \nAbout the Author \nClare Kinberg has been an organizer in the lesbian\, feminist\, and anti-war movements for more than 40 years. She is the publisher and editor of the Washtenaw Jewish News\, a monthly newspaper in southeast Michigan\, and from 1989-2011\, was editor of the international literary/political biannual Bridges: A Jewish Feminist Journal. For many years she worked as a librarian and teacher and as director of religious schools in various Jewish denominations. Her writing on Jewish culture\, the Jewish Labor Bund\, and Israel/Palestine has appeared in Tablet\, Sh’ma\, Bridges\, and Detroit Jewish News\, and many other publications. \nIndividuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events.
