This modern-day classic is complete with sibling rivalry, adultery and dungeons. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action – the play tells the story of Henry the Second, his brilliant queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the scheming children, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. Playwright James Goldman penned the beloved Oscar-winning screen adaptation.
AARP members and their guests can purchase discounted tickets to the Lion in Winter at the box office or online for $29 using the discount code: IOWA1819. The same discount applies to two shows later in the season: Gruesome Playground Injuries (April 5-14) and Disgraced (May 10-19).

Nominated for four Tony Awards in 2011, Catch Me If You Can’s source material comes from the 1980 autobiography of Frank Abagnale Jr. that inspired the 2002 film of the same name starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. The true-story told with upbeat music and an unforgettable adventure is sure to excite audiences.
