Coop: A Story of an Amish Conscientious Objector

April 25, 2026
7:30 pm · 9:30 pm

A Play About Courage and Conviction by Iowa Poet Laureate Mary Swander Tickets: Free-will donation

If you’ve ever questioned the ethics of waging war, you’ll want to see this play. Coop is historical fiction, based on the true story of an Amish conscientious objector who boarded a train during WWII expecting to fight forest fires in lieu of joining the conflict. Instead he was illegally interned in a chicken coop and remained under guard for the rest of the war.

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.

After the play there will be a Q&A session with playwright Mary Swander, actor Rip Russell, conscientious objectors from Southeast Iowa, and Linda Egenes, author of Visits with the Amish.

Recommended for ages 12 and older.

Read more about the play at the Iowa Source and the Fairfield Cultural Alliance website.

Made possible by a grant from the Fairfield Cultural Alliance and generous donations from AERON Lifestyle Technology, Inc; Susan and Bob Daniels; Edward Jones and Company; Everybody's Whole Foods; Fred and Shelley Gratzon and Sillycorn Valley Theatrics; Iowa State Bank and Trust Co; Libertyville Savings Bank; LISCO; and MidWestOne, a division of Nicolet National Bank.

1:00 pm · 4:00 pm

Join DJ every other Sunday for this epic high fantasy D&D campaign.

Old stones up in the mountains hold the stories; a king becoming sick with greed; with wanting of more and more wealth, and a dwarven civilization of gold and diamond. To have such plentiful gold that it was as valuable as timber or stone in its day. Gold was a building material while currency was polished wood mined from tree roots. Something long ago forced the dwarves to abandon Al’Khaz, the city of gold. Its location, all its wealth, and all of its technology, all lost to time. Some say it was stolen away by the sea, some claim it was lifted into the sky to live among the clouds, others theorize that it left for a different plane entirely.As the humble and fabled people of Aegravalon struggles to defend Tregaidaran from the forces of Dourlaran and their terrible plans of land development, our heroes are faced with evidence that maybe Al’Khaz could be found. And if it can be found, maybe there is hope to win this war after all.---
