Summary:
The Iowa State Legislature passed a bill in 2005 making it a criminal offense for a registered sex offender to live within 2,000 feet of a school. Many towns in Iowa, including Eldon, have added more locations to the list of prohibited places such as parks, shopping malls, bus stops, and libraries. In most towns, one of these places is within 2,000 feet of another.
In 2,000 Feet Away, a deputy is assigned to transport one of the convicted to a new residence. But where do you bring someone who isn't allowed anywhere and certainly isn't wanted?
Critics:
"[the] biggest impression made is by Steep Theatre Company and the courage they've shown by mounting this tough, thought-provoking drama. It's easily the best adult play in town right now."
- Fabizio O. Almeida, New City
