Coop: A Story of an Amish Conscientious Objector
2026-04-25 19:30 - 21:30 | Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, 200 North Main St, Fairfield, IA, 52556, United States
Coop: A Story of an Amish Conscientious Objector
A Play About Courage and Conviction by Iowa Poet Laureate Mary Swander
If you’ve ever questioned the ethics of waging war, you’ll want to see this play. Coop historical fiction, based on the true story of an Amish conscientious objector who boarded a train during WWII to fight fires in Colorado in lieu of picking up a gun. Unexpectedly, he and other conscientious objectors—a Mennonite, a Quaker, a Swiss Brethren, a Hutterite—are led off the train and illegally interred in a chicken coop for the duration of the war.
As he writes imaginary letters home to his mother, he’s afraid, yes. But he meets his fear with courage—and faith in his conviction that violence should be met by turning the other cheek.
This object theater drama stars Iowa City veteran actor Rip Russell and uses everyday props to portray a young man’s courage and conviction in response to persecution. Beautiful Amish hymns, sung a capello, form part of the sound track.
Author, poet, and playwright Mary Swander lives among the Amish in Kalona, Iowa, and is known for her best-selling book, Out of This World. Her play Map of My Kingdom, about farm succession, was a hit when it played in Fairfield in 2019.
After the play there will be a Q&A session with Swander, actor Rip Russell, conscientious objectors from Southeast Iowa, and Linda Egenes, author of Visits with the Amish.
Recommended for ages 12 and older.

Film Screening - Seeds of Sovereignty
2026-06-06 19:00 - 20:30, 2026-06-07 14:30 - 16:00 | Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, 200 North Main St, Fairfield, IA, 52556, United States
The Pax Natura Foundation presents Seeds of Sovereignty, a film by Stuart J. Tanner.
After a successful international festival run with over 70 official selections, 24 awards, and screenings in more than 30 countries, the film is coming to Fairfield for two special community screenings at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center.
Screenings will take place on Saturday, June 6 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, June 7 at 2:30 PM. Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A and community discussion.
Mexico stands at a crossroads, fighting to protect its native seeds, lands, and people from the encroachment of genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals. Seeds of Sovereignty was born from urgency, a response to a battle that is both deeply local and undeniably global. More than a film about agriculture, it is about identity, resistance, and the right to shape our future. Through legal victories, grassroots movements, and striking visuals, the documentary asks what happens when profit is placed above human and environmental health. The goal of the film is not only to inform, but to immerse audiences in this struggle and inspire action. The fight to protect native maize in Mexico reflects a broader global question about food sovereignty, biodiversity, and the future of farming itself.
More than a film, Seeds of Sovereignty is an invitation to reflect on our relationship to food, land, culture, and the future we are collectively creating.
Free showing. Donations accepted.

SHOW SYNOPSIS
ALADDIN
Adapted by Michael McGill
Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill
For Aladdin it’s not easy to find a magic lamp but it’s even harder to get a date! It’s a swirling sandstorm of famous Arabian Tales from Ali Baba to Scheherazade, and even Sinbad the Sailor, as Aladdin journeys to find a magic lamp in a Cave of (not-so-great) Wonders. Along his way Aladdin seeks answers and advice from wise Genies, a powerful Sultan, and his own Mother to find a way to meet the Princess. However, even with the lamp in hand, Aladdin will have to learn that it takes more than a wish to make a good impression. Full of memorable characters, from lost Penguins to talking Palm Trees, this is an adventure worthy of 1,001 laughs.

SHOW SYNOPSIS
Rapunzel
Adapted by Michael McGill
Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill
Would it surprise you to know that the story of Rapunzel happened in France? Well, it didn’t really, but our story takes you on a frivolous frolic through the French countryside. The Ogres garden in the Mushroom patch while the Corn and Potato spies report back to Madame Gothel. Frenchy and his intense friends, the Wood Elves, do their best to help Rapunzel escape the grasp of Madame Gothel. The lost Prince, Rapunzel’s parents, and her friends the Unicorns try to help. Just when you think it’s safe to cross the bridge, a Troll and Three Billy Goats Gruff get in the way. It doesn’t help that the Three Bears (or is it four) confuse Rapunzel with Goldilocks and chase her through the forest. Add to that the Gremlins trying to play tricks on everyone, and you have chaos! Well, it’s not that bad because the Pixies foil the Gremlins’ plans most of the time. In short, Rapunzel and all the rest of the characters tell a silly tale of personal triumph and friendship.
