EXCITING THINGS ON THE HORIZON |
We are thrilled to announce our 2nd season, and our first 'full' one, featuring plays exclusively by female playwrights.
This season kicks off with HOLY DAYS in November as we begin planting "FRESH PRODUCE," our new Concert Play Reading Series. In January, we launch the first of two fully staged productions with BRILLIANT TRACES featuring popular Des Moines-area actors and community leaders Jami Bassman Ahart and Tom Ahart. |

HOW'S THE WEATHER? These days it's perplexing. In addition to the catastrophes and havoc, compelling stories about individuals and their relationships are often buried in the muck. Or drowned. We are pleased to share two of these stories this season. Don't miss these exciting journeys!

Brilliant Traces takes us inside an isolated cabin in the woods during a raging blizzard, and examines the two people who are forced, by isolation and danger, to sort out a relationship.
