ACTORS receives US Bank grant The Ames Community Theater received a $1,500 grant from US Bank to help defray the costs of royalties for the musical “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” The royalty and script cost for a musical typically exceeds $3,000. These costs make producing one of the most favorite kinds of productions also the most financial risky. This grant ensures that ACTORS can continue to produce the kind of shows that the community wants. In 2018, US Bank provided $25 million to community and nonprofit organizations through its philanthropic initiatives. ACTORS received this grant through US Bank’s program to invest in artistic and cultural programming which provides funding to arts organizations to enhance the economic vitality of the community. “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” is a series of vignettes and songs that follow relationships from the first date though marriage and children. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost. It is known for “Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit.” It is second-longest running show OffBroadway, has been translated into 17 languages, and has been performed around the

The funds, in combination with private donations, were used to purchase a JD 5325 tractor complete with loader, bale spear and blade for One Heart’s facility at 2710 W. 190th St, Ames. “We are grateful for the United Way’s generous support,” said Kris Lager, One
Heart’s executive director. “Last fall, we completed a threeyear capital campaign to buy our permanent home, and now we face the task of maintaining its current excellent condition. “A tractor is essential for a facility of our size, so it topped our list of equipment needs. For example, we were not able to keep the horses on site last winter because we had no way to move large hay
bales or remove snow. This tractor is a major step toward establishing our permanent home.” Van Wall Equipment, of Nevada, facilitated the purchase of the tractor, which had previously been part of its lease program. “We thank Van Wall for their assistance in selecting a suitable tractor and accessories,” Lager said. “It will serve us well for many years.”
