Tim Clue's first writing gig was stand-up comedy. However, in 1991 he established Short Story Theater with Marco Benassi, a multimedia theatrical company that combined short fiction adaptations with documentary footage. Greek Streets was their inaugural work, using short stories by Harry Mark Petrakis. Other Definitions of Confinement premiered at the National Jewish Theater in 1993, introducing the life and writings of Russian political prisoner Dmitry Stonov, and in 1997 Coloring Potential debuted and focused on the stories of Chicago's inner-city youth. In 1999, Spike Manton and Clue wrote and directed a Chicago-based television sitcom pilot, Tiny Pig, that "made it into the can," but not on TV; it is now being adapted into a comedy musical. Their play Leaving Iowa is also being written as a screenplay. Clue grew up in Rochelle, Ill., and still lives in Chicago with his wife, Kathryn Lake, one cat, no kids and no station wagon.

Synopsis: | The spark behind Leaving Iowa comes from being children of parents from the now dubbed "greatest generation." The story is a toast to their idealism and character and a little roast of their undying dedication to the classic family road trip. More specifically, it is the story of Don Browning, a middle-aged writer, who returns home and decides to finally take his father's ashes to his childhood home, as requested. But when Don discovers Grandma's house is now a grocery store, he begins traveling across Iowa searching for a proper resting place for his father. This father-and-son road trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don's memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Don's existential journey leads him to reconcile his past and present at the center of the United States. Leaving Iowa is a postcard to anyone who has ever found himself or herself driving alone on a road, revisiting fond memories of his or her youth | |||||
