Performing Arts in Iowa - Spencer Community Theatre and More

Duration: 07:18

Located two hours from any larger metropolitan area, if Spencer wants the arts, the people here have to make it happen. And they have a history of taking care of themselves.

In 1931, after a fire destroyed many downtown buildings, they were rebuilt quickly and rebuilt with a distinctive art deco flair. In similar fashion, local people have worked together to provide for the performing arts: a community theatre in a 1910 remodeled grocery warehouse, the Vienna Boys Choir in the 1937 High School Auditorium, or Sesame Street Live at the new Clay County Regional Events Center.
