The Webster City Community Theatre is staging a play written by one of its own cast members. The original production is titled “Second Iowa.” Sam Reno of Des Moines says he did a lot of research on Iowa’s role in the Civil War:He says like genealogy researchers, he used state archives, old newspapers, and books. Reno, a graduate of Iowa State University, says he went to old battlefields where a thousand members of the Second Iowa Infantry fought on the Union side during the Civil War.Some wrote memoirs and letters home. Reno says he spent two years doing the research and writing the play, and then had to put together a cast to stage the play.He says it takes a lot of men to put on a war play so he called lots of old friends and talked them into getting onstage. The play will be performed tonight and Sunday, and April 12, 13 and 14 at the Webster City Community Theatre. For more info and show times, surf to www.wcctonline.org. ……
