We are absolutely loving having Playtime Poppy Children's Theatre’s Summer Theatre Adventure at the Academy this week!

These kids are not only acting, they are also helping build the sets, props, costumes, and corn stalks out of pool noodles. How fun is that?

Please come support this talented group at their performance of The Seeds of Our Story, this Friday at 7:00 PM at the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy.

Admission is free, and donations are welcome to help support this program and other Playtime Poppy programs during their 75th Anniversary year.

We are so happy to have this creative energy in our building. Come cheer these students on!
