If the stars were gazing down on Fairfield these last five months, they would have witnessed some peculiar goings-on: Broadway actors roaming about town in amazement; downtown restaurants bustling at pre- and post- show time; more laughter, standing ovations and applause; and many generations of Iowans dressing up and taking pride in our gem of a theater—The Stephen Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts. The stars above are in for a treat, as one season closes and another begins at The Sondheim Center.

Pajamas for Women Project PDF Print E-mail
A new pair of pajamas may seem like a trivial thing to most women. But for a woman arriving at a shelter with shattered self-esteem and only the clothes on her back (not even those if she’s come straight from a hospital), new PJs can be an important part of the healing process. Shelters try, in many ways both small and large, to provide things that help a woman to think she has value, and lots of it... that she is not the things she’s heard from the batterer but someone worth caring for.
