The Iowa Theatre Artists Company is proud to announce that their 2009 original production of From The Homefront, written by Thomas P. Johnson, was chosen to receive the Iowa Cultural Corridor Alliance Excellence in Innovation Award in the division of Theatre Programming.  The 4th annual awards ceremony was held at Coe College in Cedar Rapids on Sunday, January 23, 2010. 


The annual event celebrates "Excellence in Innovation in Cultural Programming" and included 12 live performances by local artists and 10 awards for cultural programming for events that took place in Calendar Year 2009.  There were also awards presented to individuals and groups that have excelled in advocacy and collaboration.  Meg Merckens and Tom Johnson, co-founders of the Iowa Theatre Artists Company, attended the event. In addition to Merckens, fellow Homefront cast members,  Paula Grady and Tom Swenson, were also in attendance.  Robert Gardner, of St. Peter, Minnesota, was the fourth member of the cast.


After the ceremony, Tom Johnson stated:  "There were 49 nominees for awards in various artistic disciplines. The  Iowa Theatre Artists Company and The Old Creamery Theatre, two Iowa County arts organizations,  were both nominated in different categories.   We are very proud of all of the arts organizations in Amana, and especially proud to have received such an award this early in our history."
