In 1911, the first rural gymnasium in the state of Iowa was built at New Era. A stage was added to the gym in 1927. It was home to many productions as graffiti on the original scenery will attest. In 1994, Pastor Roy Rogers pulled together a dinner theater production of Godspell. It's success started an annual tradition that continues today. <=== Past productions are listed in ''Our Newsletter'' Privacy Statement Neighborhood LinkTerms of Use ©1997 - 2009 Neighborhood Link, Inc.
