COVID-19 UPDATE (3/23/20)
We hope you all are doing well and staying safe out there! As we continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation, we want to communicate with our patrons and followers on the status of our current projects.
- We are exploring alternate formats, timelines, and logistics for bringing our two compelling projects to our patrons in as interesting a fashion as circumstances allow.
- The Fresh Produce concert reading of Stripped (both 3/31 in DSM and 4/4 in Omaha) is postponed until further notice.
Atlas of Mud production is looking less and less likely to open on 5/1 as originally scheduled. We will make a final decision on that no later than 4/4 and inform you about alternate scheduling or format options as soon as we are able.
- All in-person rehearsals through 4/4 are suspended.
- Any meetings by production staff are being held via phone or video chat for the time being.
Obviously these are uncharted territories, but we remain committed to our mission of creating works of relevance to the people of the Midwestern North America, with particular attention to the voices of women and other under-represented groups. But we will only present these when conditions are appropriate and safe for our company, our patrons, and our community.
Our leadership team will be monitoring the situation and continually evaluating our plan of action for upcoming projects. Please stay tuned for updates as we navigate these difficult circumstances by following this page or visiting our website at theatremidwest.org. Questions or concerns can be emailed to [email protected].
As always, thank you for your continued support!

Ten years after the world flooded and people fled to the boats, the desperation to find land has become lethal but the satellites still see nothing but water. Guarded by the military, one boat holds special cargo: seeds to plant when land is found, birds to find the land, and a child called Mud. A mythical allegory about finding hope in a world turned unrecognizable.

We are thrilled to have begun our adventure!
Thus far in 2019 we have:
Premiered our first production!TheatreMidwest produced the Iowa premier of new play, The Friendly Hour by Tom Jacobson in May of 2019.
Our all female cast of stellar local actors brought to life this group of strong, smart, and funny Midwestern women as they struggled and laughed through 70 years of U.S. history. |
|
Launched a successful Kickstarter!Through overwhelming community support of our Kickstarter campaign, TheatreMidwest BLASTED through our fundraising goals, receiving nearly $6,000 for our first production.
|
Provided Radical Hospitality!We provided dozens of FREE and REDUCED-PRICE tickets to Des Moines area theatre goers with our RADICAL HOSPITALITY strategy aimed at reducing barriers that prevent the public from seeing live theatre.
|
Received recognition from the Des Moines theatre community!
CONNECT WITH US!We are thankful for the support we have received from adventure seekers around the Midwest and the country! We are ready to move forward--but we still need your help!
